Origin and history

The house located at 15bis Albert I Street in La Rochelle is a historic monument whose remarkable element is an arcade. This building was partially protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments, formalized by an order dated 14 June 1928. No other specific architectural or historical information is available from the sources consulted.

La Rochelle, a major port town in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region (formerly Poitou-Charentes), has experienced urban development marked by its commercial and maritime role. The houses of that time, often built of stone or half-timbered, reflected the prosperity of local merchants and shipowners. This type of building, typical of the city centre, bears witness to the social and economic organization of La Rochelle between the Middle Ages and the modern era, although the details specific to this house remain unknown.
