Origin and history

The house at 37 rue du Mining in La Rochelle is a 17th and 18th century civil building. It consists of two building bodies separated by a courtyard, with a garden at the back. The facade, made of cut stone, has two spans, while the interior is organized around a lateral corridor and a staircase rotating up to date, placed in the centre of the front building. These architectural elements, including the facade and staircase, seem to go back to the second half of the eighteenth century, reflecting the stylistic evolutions of this period.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house is protected for its arcade, registered by decree of 27 June 1928. This architectural detail bears witness to the importance attached to the preservation of the urban heritage of Rochelais, marked by its port and merchant history. The location, in the city centre, and the precise address (37 or 39 rue du Mining) underline its anchoring in the historical fabric of La Rochelle, in Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its heritage status, although the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation. The absence of data on potential owners or sponsors limits knowledge of its original social and functional history.
