Origin and history

The building located at 21 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed uniformity of heights (aligned cornices) and levels (standardized floor strips), while allowing for a diversity of facades. The aim was to harmonize the street to highlight St. Croix Cathedral, creating a balanced urban perspective.

The protection of this building, by order of 23 January 1945, specifically concerns its facade and roof. This heritage recognition underscores its role in the historic Orléan landscape, marked by rigorous urban planning. The Jeanne-d'Arc street, lined with houses of various styles but on an identical scale, illustrates this desire for symmetry and grandeur, typical of the urban developments of the Enlightenment.

The available data do not specify the sponsors or architects of these buildings, but their systematic alignment suggests a centralized intervention, probably linked to the municipal or ecclesiastical authorities of the time. Today, the building remains a testimony of that time, although its exact location is considered "passible" (note 5/10) in the heritage databases.
