This house was once home to the manager of the La Lorze spinning factory, a subsidiary of the cotton spinning mill in Baar (Switzerland) and which settled in Bellegarde in 1896 to be closed to its silk clients in Lyon. This house’s style - built in 1908 - features eclectic architectural details: half-timbering, a turret on the rear facade as well as a “scalloped gable with three bull’s-eye windows” and “an advanced front panel” (source: pre-inventory, 2000, PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”).
