Origin and history

The building located at 19 avenue du Maine, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument built in the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This building, typical of Haussmannian town planning and Parisian expansion under the July monarchy, is distinguished by its facades and roofs, as well as the decor of its former large living room. These elements, protected by a 1993 registration order, testify to the architectural refinement of the period, marked by bourgeois aesthetics and neoclassical influences.

Acquired in 1923 by the Ministry of Agriculture, the building had an administrative vocation, reflecting the functional changes of Parisian private hotels in the 20th century. Although its exact location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), its official address, confirmed by the Mérimée base, remains 19 avenue du Maine (75015 Paris). Today, its status as a historical monument makes it a privileged witness to the urban and social history of the 15th arrondissement.

The protected elements — facades, roofs and decor of the living room (reference "F letter of the plan") — highlight the heritage value of the building. Their inscription in 1993 is part of an approach to preserving Parisian heritage, often threatened by modern transformations. No information is available about its current accessibility (visits, rentals) or its contemporary use, but its history remains linked to the architectural and political heritage of the capital.
