Timeline

Origin and history

The building at 8 Cyprien-Desgroux Street in Beauvais (Oise) is a historic monument whose heritage value was recognized by a classification order in 1932. This classification specifically concerned its facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. Although details of its original construction or use are not specified in the available sources, its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments underlines its importance in the Beauvaisian urban landscape.

The building was destroyed in 1940, probably in the context of Beauvais' bombings during World War II. This destruction explains the absence of significant remains today, apart from archives and administrative records. The approximate location, noted with poor accuracy (5/10), and data from the Merimée database confirm its anchoring in the city centre, near other historical buildings of the Picardie (now Hauts-de-France).

Available sources, including Monumentum, do not provide information on any owners, architects or significant events related to this building prior to its destruction. Only the trace of his legal protection persists, testifying to a lost architectural heritage. Desgroux Street, today Cyprien-Desgroux, remains an emblematic axis of Beauvais, where several classified buildings recall the city's turbulent history.
