Origin and history

The building known as the André house stands at 24, Cours Mirabeau, an emblematic artery of Aix-en-Provence. This building is distinguished by its architecture, whose facade overlooking the courtyard and roof have been officially recognized for their heritage value. These elements were listed as historical monuments by a ministerial decree dated 2 June 1942, thus marking their preservation for future generations.

No additional information is available on the history of its construction, its former owners or its initial use. The sources consulted (Wikipedia and Monumentum) are limited to its precise location and legal protection, without detailing its historical or architectural context. The house André is nevertheless part of the urban landscape of Aix, where the Mirabeau River concentrates several remarkable buildings, witness to the evolution of the city.

The 1942 protection was part of a period when France, despite the upheavals of the Second World War, continued its efforts to safeguard its heritage. In Aix-en-Provence, this approach reflected a desire to preserve the facades and architectural elements characteristic of the buildings in the city centre, often linked to the bourgeois rise of the 18th and 19th centuries, although the André house itself was not dated in the sources.
