Origin and history

The building at 1 rue des Fours in La Roche-sur-Foron is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its classification, carried out by decree on 1 February 1944, specifically concerns the facades and roofs overlooking the street, as well as the corridor of access to the staircase and the staircase itself. These architectural elements bear witness to a preserved built heritage, typical of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and Haute-Savoie.

The location of this building, although documented (GPS coordinates and precise address), is evaluated with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty as to its exact location in the geolocation archives. No additional information is available about its history, its former owners, or its original use, other than its protected status.

The town of La Roche-sur-Foron, part of the Haute-Savoie department (code Insee 74224), is part of a territory marked by a mixed urban and rural history. The buildings of that time, often built of stone or local materials, served both as dwellings, as places of commerce or as handicrafts. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of construction techniques and lifestyles between the 19th and 20th centuries, a pivotal period for the urbanization of small Alpine cities.
