La Maison des Statues

This house was built in 1874 by Adolphe Chosson, a wealthy Roman merchant, in the Neoclassical style typical of the period.

The second-floor balcony is supported by an atlantean (God Mercury) and a caryatid, allegories of commerce and industry.

The house subsequently passed into the hands of several wealthy industrialists, symbolizing the enrichment of the Roman bourgeoisie during the Third Republic.
