Origin and history

The building at 10 avenue du Maréchal-Joffre, at the corner of Rue du Havre in Mulhouse, is an example of civil architecture from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This building, whose facades and roofs are protected, was registered as historical monuments by order of 9 July 1986. Its style reflects the architectural influences of the Mulhousian region during this industrial period, marked by significant urban development.

The construction of this building is attributed to Jean Geoffroy Stotz, prime contractor, and Felix Fries, architect. Their collaboration gave rise to a building representative of the economic and cultural development of Mulhouse in the 19th century, when the city was established as a major textile pole in Europe. The registration of the building in 1986 underscores its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Mulhousian.

Located in the Haut-Rhin department, in the Grand Est region, this building illustrates the Alsatian architectural heritage. Its location, close to major axes, bears witness to the planned urban planning of Mulhouse, where civilian buildings were alongside industrial infrastructure. The protection of its facades and roofs aims to preserve the stylistic details characteristic of this era, such as ornaments or harmonious proportions.
