Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house at 9, formerly rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville (now rue Philippe-Marcombes) in Clermont-Ferrand is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its classification by decree of 17 July 1926 attests to its heritage interest, although architectural details or its precise history are not explicitly documented in available sources. Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of Puy-de-Dôme in Auvergne, has experienced a gradual urbanization marked by civil and religious constructions.

The bourgeois or artisanal houses, like this one, often reflected the local economic dynamism, linked to the commercial, administrative or industrial activities of the region. This type of building was involved in the structuring of central neighbourhoods, combining housing and sometimes professional activities.
