The facades and roofs of this building have been protected by registration under the Historic Monuments since 26 July 1930. This preservation measure reflects the heritage value of the building, although the available records do not specify the exact date of its construction or its architect.

This type of building, characteristic of the Versaillais urban landscape, is part of an architectural fabric marked by the royal and imperial history of the city. Versailles, the former residence of the kings of France, experienced an important urban development from the 17th century, then a gradual transformation of its housing stock in the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings of this period often reflect the evolution of architectural styles and residential needs of a growing population, sometimes combining classical elements with more modern influences.

The protection of facades and roofs suggests that this building has aesthetic or historical characteristics representative of its time.
