Origin and history

This house, located at 25 rue du Mining in La Rochelle, is a 17th and 18th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. It was partially classified as a Historic Monument, especially for its arcade, protected by ministerial decree in 1928. The precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), allows to situate the building in the historic center of the city, a district marked by the harbour and commercial activity of the modern era.

La Rochelle, the major port of the Atlantic facade, experienced during the 17th and 18th centuries an economic boom linked to maritime trade, especially with the colonies. The houses of this period often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and shipowners. This type of building, with its architectural elements like arcades, served both as a dwelling and as a place for professional activities, illustrating the urban dynamism of the period. No specific information is available on the owners or specific uses of this house.

Available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) mention an approximate address confirmed by GPS coordinates, as well as an Insee code linking the monument to the municipality of La Rochelle (17300), in Charente-Maritime. No indication is given of its current accessibility (visit, rental, etc.) or of any contemporary developments.
