Origin and history

The house at 10 Place des Vosges in Epinal is a monument whose facade was classified by ministerial decree in 1926. This building, although little documented in the available sources, bears witness to the civil architecture of the city in the early twentieth century. Its listing as a Historic Monuments underscores its heritage interest, particularly for its conserved exterior elements.

Epinal, the capital of Vosges in the Grand Est region (formerly Lorraine), experienced a marked urban development at the beginning of the 20th century. The bourgeois houses of this period often reflect the local economic boom, linked to the textile and paper industries. This type of building, by its central location in a major square, could serve as an easy residence or a place for commercial activities, thus participating in the social and economic life of the city.
