Origin and history

The house located at 109 rue Porte-Dijeaux in Bordeaux is a historic monument whose heritage value rests mainly on its facade and roof. These architectural elements, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1927, reflect a characteristic style of Bordeaux urban planning, although the exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, places this building in the historic heart of the city, close to major shopping routes.

The inscription in the title of the Historical Monuments in 1927 underlines the importance of preserving this built heritage, typical of bourgeois or artisanal houses of Bordeaux. At that time, the city, a dynamic port for centuries, was undergoing an urban transformation marked by the modernization and enhancement of its centre. Houses like this, often integrated into shopping streets, reflected the social status of their owners and participated in the animation of neighbourhoods.

Their conservation today offers an overview of the lifestyles and civil architecture of the 19th and 20th centuries in Aquitaine.
