Residential and commercial building in La Chaux-de-Fonds

Description of the building

1. History
The building dates back to the late 19th century. Originally, it consisted of two floors above the ground floor, a basement, and a roof that housed the galetas. The habitable levels included 2 apartments.
In the early 1970s, a transformation was carried out to modernize the building and make it a rental property. The work consisted of adding a 3rd floor, with a plan offering 4 apartments per floor, all served by a Schindler elevator from the basement to the 3rd floor.
