Origin and history

The building located at 89 rue de la Verrerie, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic 17th century building. This building, whose facade and roof on street have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1974, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the capital. Its classification reflects its heritage value, although details of its history or original occupants remain little documented in available sources.

The location of this building in the historic Marais district reflects the dense urbanization and architectural importance of Paris in the 17th century. At that time, the city experienced economic and cultural growth, marked by the construction of many private hotels and report buildings. These buildings, often intended for a rising bourgeoisie or aristocracy, play a key role in the social and spatial structure of the capital. Their preservation today makes it possible to understand the urban changes and lifestyles of the era.

The protections applied to this building, notably the decree of 12 April 1974, underline the effort to preserve the Parisian heritage in the 20th century. This decree specifically concerns the facade and roof, characteristic elements of the 17th century classic aesthetic. Although the archives do not specify the exact reasons for this inscription, it is part of a broader policy of safeguarding the physical traces of the urban history of Paris.
