Origin and history

The house at 8 Albert I Street in La Rochelle is a representative example of the house architecture of the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. It is characterized by its arcade porches, prominent architectural elements that border the facade. These arcades, typical of the urban buildings of this period, reflect an aesthetic and functional will, offering both shelter and visual harmony to the streets of the city.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was specifically protected by a decree of 14 June 1928, in particular concerning its arcades. This inscription reflects the heritage value of these architectural elements, which illustrate the know-how and stylistic tendencies of their time. The location of the house, in the city centre of La Rochelle, makes it a witness to urban planning and daily life in the 19th century in this port city.

The accuracy of the location of this monument is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), suggesting that the available data do not allow for a perfectly accurate geographical identification. Despite this, the official address recorded in the Merimée base, as well as the approximate GPS coordinates, confirm its location in the historic district of La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime. This monument is part of a larger architectural complex, reflecting the urban and social evolution of the region during the 19th century.
