Origin and history

The house at 16 rue du Mining in La Rochelle is a building representative of 17th and 18th century civil architecture. It is distinguished by its arcades, characteristics shared by all the houses on this street. These architectural elements led to its registration as Historic Monuments by order of 27 June 1928, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this monument, in the historical centre of La Rochelle, reflects the urban planning of this period, marked by narrow streets and aligned facades. The arcades, often associated with commercial or craft activities, bear witness to local economic life. Their preservation illustrates the importance attached to the heritage built in this port city, historically oriented towards maritime commerce.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée database indicate that the exact address corresponds to the Insee 17300 code in the Charente-Maritime department. The accuracy of the location is estimated as fair (level 5/10), without further indication of its current accessibility or contemporary uses (visit, rental, etc.).
