Origin and history

The Maison Jorrot is a historical monument located in Dole, in the Jura department (39), in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Built in the first quarter of the 20th century, this residence is located at 21 Rockefeller Avenue. Its architecture reflects the stylistic influences of this pivotal period between tradition and modernity.

The Jorrot House was partially classified as a Historic Monument by an order of 29 October 1975, specifically protecting its facades and roofs. This official recognition underscores its heritage interest, although available information about its specific history or former occupants remains limited. The location of this monument, in a city like Dole marked by a rich historical past, makes it a witness to the urban and architectural evolution of the region.

At the time of its construction, Dole was a rapidly changing city, integrated into a dynamic economic and social fabric in Franche-Comté. Bourgeois houses such as the Jorrot House often illustrated the social status of their owners, while contributing to the beautification of residential areas. These buildings also served as a living environment for wealthy families, reflecting the lifestyles and aspirations of the era.
