Origin and history
The House of Doctor Fernet, located at 18 rue de Birmingham in Albert (Somme), is a building listed as a Historical Monument since 30 September 2022. This classification protects its facades, roofs, as well as emblematic interior elements such as the old consulting cabinet, the vestibule, the staircase, the living room and the dining room. Raymond Moritz's marouflé canvases, integrated into the decor, are a notable artistic testimony of the time.
The inscription to the Historical Monuments also covers the terrace with its marquise, highlighting the architectural and heritage importance of this ensemble. The building, located in the department of the Somme in the Hauts-de-France region, reflects the style and uses of a bourgeois or professional residence of the early twentieth century. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), and its address is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates.
Although the practical information on current visits or uses (rents, guest rooms) is not specified, the official protection of the monument guarantees the preservation of its most significant elements. The house thus embodies a local heritage, both architectural and artistic, linked to the medical and social history of Albert.
