Origin and history

The building at 21 Place de la Carrière in Nancy is a historic monument whose remarkable elements – facades and roofs – were inscribed by ministerial decree in 1925. This official protection reflects its heritage interest, although the available archives do not specify its date of construction or its architect. The building is part of the urban landscape of Nancy, a city marked by a rich architectural heritage ranging from the Middle Ages to Art Nouveau.

Place de la Carrière, where this building stands, is one of Nancy's emblematic urban ensembles, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural harmony. The building, by its location and protection, illustrates the importance attached to the preservation of the Lorrain civil heritage in the early twentieth century. Current sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not, however, provide details of its historical use or any notable occupants.
