Origin and history

This house located in Issoire, in Puy-de-Dôme, is a rare architectural testimony of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It represents the last vestige of an old arcade square, now disappeared. Its base, characterized by arcades, dates from the 16th century, while the upper floors were built in the 18th century. This mix of styles reflects the urban and architectural evolutions of the city over centuries.

The façade of this house, classified as Monument Historique by decree of 9 July 1981, is protected for its ground floor with arcades and its corresponding roofs. It is located in Place de la République, at the corner of rue Pisavin. This monument is also marked by scientific history, as it is the birthplace, in 1833, of Gabriel Roux, a professor whose work prepared the discovery of penicillin and antibiotics.

The information available indicates that the location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy deemed mediocre (note 5/10). Despite this, it remains a point of historical and cultural interest for the city of Issoire, illustrating both the local architectural heritage and its link with major scientific figures. No information is available about its current accessibility to the public or its possible contemporary functions (visits, rentals, accommodation).
