Origin and history

The house in La Côte-Saint-André, in the department of Isère (38), is a 17th-century building. It is distinguished by its portal on street, including an awning and vantals, which was registered as Historic Monument by order of 31 December 1979. This portal, a remarkable architectural element, is the only protected component of the house, according to data from the Merimée database.

The location of this house is specified at 9-11 rue Centrale, although GPS coordinates suggest a slightly different position at 5 rue Centrale. The accuracy of this location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), reflecting uncertainty about its exact location. No additional information is available about its history, owners, or initial use.

In modern times, bourgeois or urban houses like this often played a central role in local life, serving as residences for wealthy families or artisans. In a region like the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, marked by a rural and artisanal economy in the 17th century, these buildings could also reflect the social status of their occupants. However, no specific details of this house or its occupants are mentioned in the available sources.

The partial classification of its portal suggests a heritage value related to its architectural style or state of conservation. Protected elements, such as vantals and awnings, are typical of the monumental entrances of this period, often designed to impress and mark public space. No other part of the house is protected, which limits the knowledge of its architectural ensemble.

Available sources, including Monumentum and internal data, do not provide information on the opening of the monument to the public, its current use (rent, visit, guest rooms), or any services offered. The house therefore remains an element of the local heritage whose history and precise function remain partially unknown.

The commune of La Côte-Saint-André, identified by the code Insee 38130, is attached to the arrondissement of Grenoble and to the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. This territorial context places the house in a historical environment marked by the influence of nearby cities like Grenoble, without direct links to local events or characters being documented in the sources consulted.
