Origin and history

The house at 44 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier is a building dating from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was partially rebuilt or modified in the 1st quarter of the 19th century, as indicated by the mention of a common courtyard with 19 rue Tamisier. This monument is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region.

The façade of this house was protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on December 2, 1926. This classification reflects its heritage interest, although the available information does not specify detailed architectural features. The exact location, confirmed by the Merimée data, places this building in the city centre of Lons-le-Saunier, prefecture of the Jura department.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight the importance of this type of house in the urban fabric of Franche-Comté. At that time, Lons-le-Saunier was a developing city marked by artisanal and commercial activities. Bourgeois houses, like this one, often reflected the prosperity of the owners and their social status in the local community.
