Origin and history

The building at 13 rue de Lille, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by increasing urbanization and often neat facades, reflecting the prestige of the neighborhood. Its protected elements, namely the front and the facades on the street, were registered under the Historical Monuments by order of 23 May 1984.

The location of this building, in a central and historical district of Paris, suggests its integration into an urban fabric that was undergoing transformation in the 19th century. At that time, the 7th arrondissement, close to political institutions and bourgeois neighbourhoods, was home to an affluent population and activities related to administration or luxury trade. The buildings of that period were often used as residences for the upper classes, or were used to house shops and workshops, thus participating in the economic and social life of the capital.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the location of the building is known with an accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on its current use, its potential historic owners, or any significant events that would take place there. The protection of its facades and its front, however, demonstrates the desire to preserve an architectural heritage representative of its time.
