Facade and arcade: inscription by order of 14 June 1928

Origin and history

The house located at 24 rue Chaudrier in La Rochelle is an iconic 18th century building, marked by a characteristic residential architecture. Its facades, decorated with arcade porches, reflect the stylistic influences of the port town planning of the time. This type of construction, both functional and aesthetic, demonstrates the importance attached to traffic spaces and trade in a city that was then booming by sea.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 14 June 1928, specifically concerning its facade and arcades. This official recognition underscores the heritage value of the building, while illustrating efforts to preserve the old building in La Rochelle. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the monument at the heart of a historic district, between architectural memory and contemporary urban life.

The location of the house, although considered "passable" (note 5/10) in terms of accuracy, remains an anchor point to understand the evolution of the urban fabric of the rock. Available data, from sources such as Monumentum, highlight its role in the architectural landscape of Charente-Maritime, now integrated into the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The absence of information on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) leaves open the question of its contemporary vocation, between conservation and adaptation.
