Origin and history

The building of 4 place Gustave-Touduze, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is a building representative of civil architecture of the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. Its construction is part of a period of intense urban transformation in Paris, marked by the rise of report buildings and the beautification of central districts. The facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments in 1977, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building in a rapidly changing district reflects the social and economic dynamics of the time. The 9th arrondissement, under development under the July monarchy and the Second Empire, attracted an affluent bourgeoisie seeking prestigious housing. The buildings of this period are often distinguished by their sober elegance, harmonious proportions and integration into an urban fabric undergoing restructuring. The inscription of its architectural elements bears witness to the desire to preserve this emblematic heritage of Haussmann Paris before the hour.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address corresponds to a site that is now well identified, although the accuracy of the location is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on any current use (visits, rentals, etc.) or on historical figures related to its construction or occupation. The 1977 protection concerns only the outside parts, without mentioning remarkable interior arrangements.
