Origin and history

This house, located at 48 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, is a civil building dating from the last quarter of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It illustrates bourgeois domestic architecture of this period, marked by neat facades and decorative elements characteristic of the era.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 2 December 1926, only its facade enjoys official protection. This type of building reflects the urban development of Lons-le-Saunier, then a spa and commercial city in the middle of the Jura. The location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), corresponds to the historical address recorded in the Merimée database.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its heritage importance without providing details about its occupants or its precise use. The absence of information about an opening to the public or related services (visits, rentals) suggests a vocation mainly residential or private, typical of bourgeois houses of the Old Regime.
