Origin and history

This house, located at 8 rue du Mining in La Rochelle, is a typical example of 17th and 18th century civil architecture. It is distinguished by its arcades, characteristics shared by all the houses on this street, which led to its inscription as Historical Monument by order of 27 June 1928. The protection specifically concerns these architectural elements, witnesses to urban planning and constructive practices of the modern period in Poitou-Charentes.

The location of this monument, in the historic centre of La Rochelle, reflects the importance of the civil structure in a growing port town in the 17th and 18th centuries. The arcades, often associated with the commercial ground floor, suggest a street driven by commercial or artisanal activities. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), with an address confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its status as a Historic Monument without providing details of any owners, architects or significant events related to this building. The absence of information on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) limits the knowledge of its contemporary vocation, but its inscription bears witness to its recognized heritage value from the early twentieth century.
