Origin and history

The building located at 14 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed uniformity of heights (aligned cornices) and levels (standardized floor strips), while allowing for a diversity of facades. The aim was to harmonize the street to enhance the cathedral, creating a balanced urban perspective.

The protection of this building, by order of 23 January 1945, specifically concerns its façade and its cover. This choice reflects the heritage importance of its integration into the Orléan landscape, marked by a municipal desire for aesthetic control. Jeanne d'Arc Street, lined with similar constructions, illustrates an ambitious urban planning, typical of the transformations of the city centres in the 19th century.

The available coordinates place the monument at 12 or 14 rue Jeanne-d This approximate location highlights the challenges of building documentation in heritage databases, such as Mérimée, where the official address (14 Jeanne-d'Arc Street) can diverge from GPS data.

No information is provided on the current use of the building (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or architects. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without details of historical occupants or subsequent modifications to its construction.

The architecture of Jeanne d'Arc Street, although diversified in detail, follows a common scale that strengthens the visual unity. This approach, common in 19th century urban planning projects, was designed to create harmonious ensembles while preserving a certain individuality of buildings. The inclusion in the Historical Monuments in 1945 attests to the early recognition of this heritage value.

The Creative Commons license associated with the illustration of the monument (credit: Peter Potrowl) recalls the importance of collaborative contributions to heritage documentation. However, the source text does not specify the exact date of construction or the materials used, limiting the precise knowledge of the building to its urban and regulatory context.
