Origin and history

The building at the 13 aisle of Port-Maillard in Nantes is a civil building built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the urban architecture of the city at a time when Nantes, a dynamic port, is experiencing an economic boom linked to maritime commerce, especially with the colonies. Its listing in the inventory of historical monuments by order of 2 July 1951 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its facade on the Place du Bouffay, a protected element.

In the 18th century, Nantes was a prosperous city marked by port activity and triangular trade. The buildings of this period often reflect the social status of their owners, bourgeois or traders enriched by trade. This type of construction, with its neat facades, is part of a changing urban context, where the beautification of the city becomes a major concern for local elites. The inscription of this building in 1951 is part of a desire to preserve this architectural heritage representative of a pivotal period.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that the building is still located at the historic address of the 13 aisle of Port-Maillard. Its state of conservation and current use are not specified, but its status as a protected monument makes it a significant part of the heritage of the Netherlands. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (Level 5), suggesting a clear identification despite potentially approximate GPS coordinates.
