Origin and history

The building at 69 rue Saint-Martin, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building, representative of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 12 April 1974. Its location in the heart of Paris, in a neighborhood marked by a rich medieval and Haussmannian heritage, makes it a witness to the urban transformations of the capital under the Restoration or the Monarchy of July.

The protection of the building specifically covers its exterior elements visible from the street, namely the façade and the roof. This measure of preservation is part of a desire to preserve the traces of Parisian urban planning from the early 19th century, a period that is pivotal between the revolutionary heritage and the major Haussmannian works. Although the available sources do not specify its original use (bourgeois housing, commerce, or other), its classification suggests a heritage value linked to its architectural style or its integration into the historical fabric of the Marais.

The geographic data associated with this building indicate an approximate location, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10) in the Merimée database. This impreciseness may reflect the limitations of geolocation tools for older buildings, or an address whose GPS coordinates do not match the reality of the terrain. No information is available on its accessibility to the public, a possible tourist vocation, or services such as room rental.
