The Maison de la rue Loredan-Larchey, located at number 15 in Menton in the Alpes-Maritimes, is a testament to early 20th-century architecture on the Riviera. The house, constructed in 1910, features a distinct sgraffito frieze under the eaves, which is characteristic of houses built during this era.
Architect Abel Glena built the house for Antoine Anfossi and his wife Thérèse Gibelli on a plot of land acquired in 1907. The building's facades, including their decor and the roof, were inscribed as historical monuments by a decree on April 3, 1990.
In addition to its historical monument status, the edifice received the Label Patrimoine du XXe siècle on March 1, 2001. It stands as a preserved example of the regional architectural style of the early 1900s.
