Origin and history

The house at 11 Place Duroc in Pont-à-Mousson is a historic monument whose protection concerns its facade. Enlisted by ministerial decree on December 11, 1925, this building illustrates the heritage interest in the civil constructions of the Lorraine region at the beginning of the 20th century. Its location in the city centre, on an iconic square, suggests a role in local urban life.

Pont-à-Mousson, a town of Meurthe-et-Moselle in the Grand Est region, is part of a territory marked by an industrial and artisanal history. The bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often reflect the economic boom of Lorraine at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the architectural and social evolution of the cities of that time, where the facades decorated symbolized the status of their owners.
