Origin and history
This house in La Rochelle, dating from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, is distinguished by its arcade porches, characteristic of the urban architecture of the period. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1928, specifically for its arcades, reflecting their heritage value.
Arcade houses were common in port cities such as La Rochelle, where they served as both places of commerce and housing. Their style reflected the influence of maritime exchanges and European architectural trends, while adapting to local needs.
The precise location of this house at 13 Albert I Street is documented in the Merimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (note of 5/10). This type of building illustrates the urban development of La Rochelle in the 18th century, marked by prosperity linked to Atlantic trade.
