Ensign in wrought iron of the Bras d'Or, on the facade: inscription by decree of 10 March 1944
Origin and history
The building located at 1 rue Grande-Chaussée in Lille is a monument classified for its wrought iron sign, called Bras d的Or. This decorative element, typical of local handicrafts, was protected by a ministerial decree in 1944, highlighting its heritage interest. The building is part of the urban fabric of Lille, marked by a 19th and 20th century commercial and residential architecture.
The location of the building, although documented (Insee code 59350, Northern Department), has a geographical accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a Historic Monument, but do not provide details of its history until 1944. The signboard, the only protected element, illustrates the importance of distinctive signs in the merchant towns of northern France.
No information is available on owners, architects or events related to the building outside its classification. The rue Grande-Chaussée, the historic street of Lille, concentrates several buildings of heritage value, reflecting the economic and cultural dynamism of the city. The lack of data on openness to the public or current usage limits knowledge of its contemporary vocation.
