Origin and history

The building in Menton, Alpes-Maritimes, is a representative example of the civil architecture of the early twentieth century. Built between 1909 and 1910, it is distinguished by its friezes painted under the foreground, by the painter Cerutti-Maori. These decorations, characteristic of the French Riviera of this time, illustrate the local artistic influence and taste for pictorial ornaments in bourgeois habitat.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building saw its facades and roof protected by order of 19 September 1990. Its address, at the intersection of the Marne-Maréchal-Joffre and Loredan-Larchey streets, makes it an integral part of the urban fabric of Menton. The friezes, signed by Cerutti-Maori, bear witness to a decorative tradition unique to the region, combining art and architecture.

The location of the building, although documented (GPS coordinates and precise address), is assessed as satisfactory in terms of accuracy. No information is available on its current access to the public, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation. The sources mention only his protected status and artistic interest.
