History

The edifice comprises, around an elongated courtyard, the dwelling rebuilt around 1830 on the façade facing the street to the west, and two workshops, a weaving mill bordering the courtyard to the east, a spinning mill closing it to the north. The weaving mill, in timber framing with brick nogging, with Saint Andrew's crosses on the window sills, is attested in 1775. It is raised at the beginning of the 19th century by a third level. Built around 1820, the spinning mill presents, on two square storeys and an attic storey, an orderly neoclassical façade in brick and limestone. Operated by the Godet family until 1847, the factory is purchased by Beer-Morel in 1853. In 1855, he declares employing for his activity 150 workers in workshops and 200 working outside. A steam engine of 18 hp equips from the start the mechanical spinning mill. Textile activity persists there until the end of the 19th century. In 1922, the factory is converted into a printing and paper works of the Paul Duval house. Currently, the weaving mill is undergoing rehabilitation and the spinning mill building was destroyed at the end of June 1998, following a collapse onto the public way.
