Origin and history

The shop located at 1 Rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau in Annecy is an emblematic building of the late 19th century. Built during the 4th quarter of the 19th century, it embodies the commercial architecture of this period, marked by the rise of neat fronts and urban signs. This building is now recognized as a Historical Monument, with specific protection granted to its front, classified by ministerial decree.

The store front, located at 1 Rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau, was listed as Historic Monuments by an order of 28 December 1984. This classification relates precisely to the architectural element identified under cadastre BY 137. The supervisor associated with this project is Alexandre Furno, whose name is mentioned in the archives as responsible for the realization. The building, although little documented in its original uses, reflects the urban and commercial transformations of Annecy in the late 19th century.

The location of the monument, at the exact address of 1 Rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau, is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, although the accuracy of this location is considered "passable" (note of 5/10). Annecy, then integrated into the department of Haute-Savoie and the Rhône-Alpes region (now Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), was at that time experiencing economic development linked to his role as a commercial and tourist town. Commercial fronts, like that of this store, played a key role in the animation of the streets and the daily life of the inhabitants.
