Origin and history

This house, located at 61 Beaurepaire Street in Angers, features an architecture characteristic of the second half of the 16th century. Behind a gable-on-street unit façade, it houses two houses of uneven sizes (6 and 5 meters wide), built in wooden panels for the fore and left lateral elevations, while the ground floor and the adjoining walls are schist. Each house, equipped with a parcellar and a clean distributive system, rests on a vaulted basement in a segmental cradle, in schist stone. The blankets, with long bands and appentis, are connected by a noose side.

The interiors reveal marked differences between the two houses: the one on the left retains its original staircase, a stone screw, while the one on the right was rebuilt in the 19th century with a wooden staircase with suspended silt, typical of this period. The shop of the right house, redone in the second quarter of the 20th century, has a mosaic decoration signed by the Italian Pierre de Guisti, bearing the inscription "carcuterie". A comprehensive restoration was carried out around 1987, preserving historical elements while adapting certain spaces.

Classified as a Historical Monument since 1925 for its facade and roof, this house illustrates the architectural evolution between Renaissance and modern times. The 19th-century changes, including stairs and interior distribution, reflect functional adaptations related to commercial and residential uses. The mosaic decor of the 20th century adds a late craft touch, reflecting the artistic influences of the era.
