Central motif, with pediment, of the facade: inscription by decree of 24 September 1929

Origin and history

The Colson-Blaise district is a monument located in Saint-Mihiel, Meuse department, in the Grand Est region. This site is identified as a Historical Monument, with a specific protection covering the central motif and fronton of its facade, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1929. Although architectural details or its original use are not specified in the available sources, this inscription underscores its local heritage importance.

The location of the neighbourhood at 1 Rue de la Caserne suggests a possible link to an old barracks or military complex, typical of garrison towns like Saint-Mihiel. The Lorraine region, now integrated into the East, has had a history marked by conflict and a recurrent military presence, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. Monuments of this nature, often related to administration or defence, reflect the urban and social organization of the period, although the archives available here do not allow to specify the historical specificities or associated actors.
