Origin and history

The house at 10 Rue Terrasse in Clermont-Ferrand is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 17 July 1926. Although architectural details or its precise history are not explicitly described in the available sources, its ranking reflects its heritage importance to the city and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of Puy-de-Dôme, experienced a marked urban development in the early 20th century, when this house was probably built or modified.

The bourgeois or artisanal houses of that time often reflected local economic dynamics, linked to industry (such as the Michelin tyre manufacturing) or commercial activities. This type of building, even a modest one, could be used as housing for the middle or affluent classes, thus contributing to the social and spatial structure of the city.
