Origin and history

The house at 8 rue Damiette in Rouen is a building representative of the civil architecture of the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries. Classified as a Historical Monument, it illustrates the stylistic and constructive evolutions of these periods, notably through its facades and roof slopes, protected by ministerial decree in 1958. Its location in the historic centre of Rouen, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn heritage, bears witness to the urban and social transformations of Normandy.

The listing of this house as Historic Monuments in 1958 underscores its heritage value, although the available sources do not specify the details of its construction or occupants. The periods mentioned (15th, 17th and 18th centuries) correspond to major stages of development for Rouen, then Norman economic and cultural centre. The building, located near the Upper Marriages impasse, may have been linked to artisanal or commercial activities typical of this dense urban area.

Current data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate an approximate location with an accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10). No information is available on its access to the public, its current vocation (housing, commerce, etc.), or possible interior developments. The associated photo, under Creative Commons license, and GPS coordinates confirm its address, but the sources do not allow to reconstruct its detailed history or any architectural modifications.
