Origin and history

The building at 17 Rue Colbert in Versailles is a historic monument whose architectural elements, i.e. facades and roofs, were inscribed by ministerial decree on 26 July 1930. This protection reflects its heritage interest, although the available archives do not specify the exact date of its construction or its architect. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base and GPS coordinates, places this building in the historic heart of Versailles, emblematic city of the Île-de-France region.

In the urban context of Versailles at the beginning of the twentieth century, the buildings of that time often reflected the architectural and social evolution of the city, marked by its royal heritage and its residential development. The protections under the Historical Monuments, such as the 1930 Monument, were aimed at preserving representative elements of the built heritage, in a period when industrialisation and urban transformation threatened certain buildings. This building is thus part of a broader dynamic of safeguarding the Versaillais living environment, without its specific history being detailed in the available sources.
