Arcade: registration by decree of 14 June 1928
Origin and history
This house, located at 18 rue Albert I in La Rochelle, is a monument classified among the Historical Monuments. Although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, its inscription in 1928 attests to its heritage importance, particularly for its characteristic arcade. This type of architecture often reflects the urban and commercial history of La Rochelle, the major port city in the region.
The inscription of the arcade by decree of 14 June 1928 marks the official recognition of its historical value. The arcade houses, frequent in ancient city centres, often served as trade or passage spaces, illustrating the economic and social life of past times. In La Rochelle, these architectural elements are integrated into an urban fabric marked by centuries of maritime exchanges and varied cultural influences.
