Origin and history

The building located at 12 Place Bir-Hakeim in Bordeaux is an iconic 18th century building. This monument, whose facade and roof have been protected since 1951, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the Bordeaux region. Its listing as Historic Monuments reflects its heritage significance, although its precise location remains approximate according to available sources.

The construction of this building is part of the urban context of the 18th century Bordeaux, marked by an economic boom linked to the maritime and wine trade. The facades of the buildings of that time often reflect the prestige of the owners, usually traders or local notables. The 1951 inscription aims to preserve these characteristic architectural elements, without the archives mentioning details of its original use or its occupants.

Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée database indicate a location at 12 Place Bir-Hakeim in the Gironde department. Geographical accuracy is considered poor (note 5/10), and no additional information is provided on any visits or contemporary uses of the site. The protection relates specifically to the external elements, without mentioning remarkable interiors.
