Origin and history

The house located at 58 Philibert-Laguiche Street in Mâcon has been a civil building with historic monuments since 1929. Its inscription specifically concerns the impossibility and the vantals of its door, architectural elements considered remarkable. Although the sources do not specify its date of construction, its style and classification suggest a heritage value related to its architecture or local history.

In Mâcon, as in many cities of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, the bourgeois or artisanal houses of the 18th–18th centuries often reflect the economic development of the region, marked by river trade, viticulture and artisanal activities. These houses, sometimes small in appearance, housed families whose social status was reflected in the decorative details of facades or entrances, as evidenced by the protected door. The 1929 classification is part of a period of heritage awareness in France, where the state begins to preserve elements of the vernacular or bourgeois building before their disappearance.
