Origin and history
This house located in Neufchâteau, in the Great East, dates from the first half of the eighteenth century. It consists of two building bodies and houses an oak heating cupboard, typical of the furniture of the area. This closet, integrated with the back of a fireplace, was used to diffuse heat in a room on the ground floor, illustrating the domestic heating techniques of the time.
The building belonged to the Sauville family, a local influential line, before being acquired by Nicolas Humblot, parish priest of Saint Christophe, shortly before the Revolution. In 1792 the house was sold as a national property, marking its inscription in the turbulent history of this period. Today, its façade, corridor, staircase, as well as the heating closet and fireplace have been protected since a 2000 decree.
The precise location of the house is 13 rue de la Comédie in Neufchâteau, in the department of Vosges. Its architecture and its interior elements preserved make it a rare testimony of the bourgeois dwellings of Lorraine in the Enlightenment century.
