Origin and history

The building at 136 and 138 rue Amelot, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building is distinguished by its typical architecture of the pre-revolutionary period, with remarkable elements such as an oval courtyard and an adorned entrance gate. The facades, the roofs, and the painted ceiling of a bedroom on the first floor were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 4 May 1984, highlighting their heritage value.

Architect André Aubert is identified as the masterpiece of this building. The official protection relates specifically to the street and courtyard façades, the gate with its vantals, and a painted ceiling, reflecting the artistic and historical importance of the site. The exact address, including an extension on rue Jean-Pierre-Timbaud, is listed in the Merimée database under the Insee 75111 code, confirming its anchoring in the Parisian heritage.

A historical photograph by Eugene Atget (1857–1927), licensed Creative Commons, documents the site, adding a visual dimension to its history. The location, although considered "passable" (note 5/10) in the sources, remains a point of reference for the study of Parisian urban planning of the late eighteenth century. No information is available about its current access (visit, rental) or its contemporary use.
