Origin and history

The house at 49 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier is a building representative of civil architecture from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its façade, protected by a decree of inscription under the Historical Monuments dated 2 December 1926. This ranking reflects its heritage interest, although specific architectural details are not described in available sources.

Lons-le-Saunier, capital of the Jura department in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region, was at that time a developing city, marked by artisanal and commercial activities. The bourgeois houses, like this one, often reflected the social status of their owners, while participating in the beautification of the urban fabric. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the stylistic evolutions and lifestyles of local elites under the Old Regime and at the beginning of the modern period.

Practical information on public access (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the sources consulted. The location, although indicated with an exact address, is considered to be "passible" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties on the geographic coordinates or footprint of the building. No mention is made of a historic owner or architect associated with its construction.
