Jean-Charles Pinson, captain of the bourgeois militia of Angers, inherited a land at Beaulieu from his father-in-law and guardian. By an act of 13 May 1780, passed before Maître Trottier at Angers, he borrowed a sum of 1700 pounds from a commissary of wars, Guérin du Mas, who was passing through Angers, to build a hotel on the land bequeathed to him. At that time there lived in Beaulieu a man named Jacques Jary, qualified as an architect on the registers of baptism of his children. It was probably he who built the Pinsonnière between 1780 and 1788, as did the Hôtel Desmazières in the same town (1779). During the Revolution, by an act of 27 Ventôse in VI (17 March 1798), he sold the property to Pierre-Charles Joubert and Marie-Charlotte Aimée Paulmier, his wife, whose neighbouring house had been set on fire.
