Origin and history

The building located Place des Héros in Arras is a historical monument whose protection concerns the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on 15 January 1920, it illustrates the attention paid to the architectural heritage after the First World War, during which time many buildings were damaged or destroyed in the area. Its location in the heart of Arras, a city marked by centuries of urban history, makes it a representative element of the traditional building.

Arras, capital of Pas-de-Calais, underwent a major reconstruction after 1918, with a desire to preserve the traces of the past while modernizing the city. Buildings such as this one, often built between the Middle Ages and the 19th century, served both as homes, shops and social facilities. Their facade, the most visible and decorated element, reflected the social status of the owners or the economic dynamism of the city.

Although the sources do not specify the exact time of its construction, its classification reflects its heritage value in a regional context marked by conflict and reconstruction.
