This house was acquired in 1818 by Mathieu Thierry-Mieg. This famous chemist and manufacturer of painted canvases created the andrinople red which made the success of the Mulhouse Indian women. Passionate about agronomy, he set up a model farm at the back of his house, famous for its cattle breeding. Gaspard Ziegler then Frédéric Lamey, both directors of the Société Alsacienne de Construction Mécanique (SACM), became successive owners.
