Origin and history

This house, located at 38 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, dates from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region, with a facade inscribed as Monument Historic by decree of 2 December 1926. Its location in the city center reflects the urbanization and economic development of Lons-le-Saunier, then thermal and commercial city in Franche-Comté.

The protection of its façade in 1926 underscores its heritage interest, although the available information does not specify architectural details or any historical owners. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), indicates an approximation in GPS coordinates, but the official address remains clearly identified in the Merimée and Monumentum bases.

In the 18th century, bourgeois houses like this often served as residences for wealthy families, merchants or local notables. Their presence in shopping streets, such as the Rue du Commerce, reflects the economic and social activity of the city, marked by exchanges and a dynamic urban life. These buildings were involved in structuring the public and private space, reflecting the social hierarchies of the time.
