Facade and cover: registration by decree of 23 January 1945

Origin and history

The building located at 28 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed a uniform height of cornices and headbands, creating visual harmony while allowing a diversity of facades. The aim was to highlight the nearby cathedral, structuring the urban perspective.

The Jeanne d'Arc Street, where this building is located, illustrates a desire for coherent urban planning. Each house, although stylistically distinct, respects a common scale, reflecting a collective approach to the beautification of the city. This uniformity, rare for the time, reflects a reflection on the aesthetics and functionality of public spaces.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 23 January 1945, the building is protected for its facade and cover. This status underlines its importance in the Orléan heritage, linked to a period when urban planning became a tool for staging religious and civil buildings. The location, close to the cathedral, reinforces its role in the historic landscape of the city.
