Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house located at 9 Albert I Street in La Rochelle is a monument classified for its distinctive architectural characteristics. It stands out for its arched porches, a typical element of some urban constructions in the region. These arcades, protected by an inscription order in 1928, bear witness to an architectural style that marked the city's landscape.

The location of this monument, in the department of Charente-Maritime, in New Aquitaine, is part of an urban context where arcade houses often played a role both residential and commercial. In La Rochelle, a major historic port, these constructions reflected the economic and social activity of the city, especially in times when maritime trade was flourishing. The arcades could serve as shelter for merchants or passers-by, while structuring the public space.

The inscription of the arcades of this house in 1928 underscores their heritage value. This protection takes place in a wider context of preserving the French architectural heritage, where the remarkable elements of old buildings are identified and protected for future generations. The house, although little documented in available sources, thus embodies part of La Rochelle's urban and architectural history.

The accuracy of its location, assessed as fair, and the information available in the Merimée database confirm its exact address. Internal data and the Monumentum platform provide administrative details, such as the Insee code of the municipality (17300), but little information on its specific history or occupants. The house therefore remains a silent but significant testimony of the architectural and social evolution of the city.
