This building, located in the 5th arrondissement, embodies a preserved architectural heritage in the heart of Old Lyon, an emblematic district of the city. Its inscription demonstrates its historical or aesthetic significance, although the precise details of its origin or initial use are not mentioned in the available sources.

The exact address indicated in the Merimée base is 42 rue Saint-Jean, but GPS coordinates suggest a nearby location at Place Neuve Saint-Jean.
