Origin and history

The building located at 75 rue Saint-Martin in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a 17th century building. It is part of the architectural heritage of the capital, marked by increasing urbanization under the Old Regime. This type of building reflects the stylistic and functional evolutions of the Parisian houses of the time, often intended for a rising bourgeoisie or wealthy artisans.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building has been partially protected since 1974, specifically covering its facade and roof on street. This official recognition underscores its heritage interest, although available sources do not specify the details of its history or occupants. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, attests to its location in a central district of Paris, marked by a rich medieval and modern past.

The 17th century period in Paris corresponds to a phase of major urban transformation, with the expansion of the city under Henry IV and Louis XIII, then beautification under Louis XIV. The buildings of this time, often made of stone and brick, illustrate the emergence of more standardized architectural standards. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the lifestyles and spatial organization of Parisians before the major Haussmannian upheavals.

Practical information on access to the public, such as visits or rentals, is not documented in available sources. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location or geographic boundaries. No mention is made of a sponsor, architect, or of specific historical events related to this building.
