Located on 16 Grande Rue, this house is part of the built heritage of the commune of Saint-Hippolyte, whose code Insee (25519) links it to the territory of the Doubs and the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region.

The houses of this period in Burgundy-Franche-Comté were often linked to the development of the villages and to the development of craft or commercial activities. Their architecture, sometimes combining Renaissance elements and subsequent redevelopments, illustrates the evolution of construction techniques and lifestyles between the 16th and 19th centuries. These buildings served as housing, workshops or trading venues, playing a central role in local social and economic life.
