Description

In 1875, the merchant Eugène Gazan built this neoclassical mansion, which he named Bellevue. The building had a lower and upper apartment, each with separate entrances. A distinctive feature is the grand detached two-story kitchen building on the left side, connected to the main house by open galleries. The house was rented to Protestant families and government officials, for many years, and their different lifestyle stood out in the neighborhood. In the 1930s, the ground floor was occupied by Shon Wewe Hellburg, a talented violinist who hosted musical evenings on the weekends.
