Located at 140 rue Juliette-Dodu in the heart of Saint-Denis, the Maison du Premier président de la cour d'appel, or Villa Lenoir, is a house on the island of La Réunion. Constructed between 1852 and 1857, the house was built by Charles Lenoir, a sugar planter and mayor of Sainte-Rose. The first to inhabit the house was Mazade-Desisles.
Over the years, the house exchanged many hands, including the Adam de Villiers from 1861 to October 1909. In 1919, the colony of La Réunion acquired the house. It was transferred to the Department in 1946.
In 1963, the Ministry of Justice purchased the property to house the first president of the court of appeal. The house was classified and inscribed as a historic monument in 1984. In 2013, it was sold to Farouk Mangrolia, who had it fully restored and renamed villa Lenoir. It then housed AGORAH, an agency for observation and analysis of the territory. As of 2024, it has been occupied by the accounting expertise firm FUZEC Réunion.
