Origin and history

The building at 50 rue Gustave-Delory (formerly 42, 44, 46) in Lille is a building representative of civil architecture of the 2nd half of the 18th century. Its facades and roofs on the street were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 5 March 1990, highlighting their heritage value. The exact address, confirmed by the Mérimée base, locates it in the Nord department (code Insee 59350), in the Hauts-de-France region.

The location of the building, although documented (approximate GPS coordinates: 3 National Street), is considered "passable" (note 5/10) according to available sources. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The data are mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives.

The building is part of the urban context of the 18th century, a period marked by an architectural boom linked to the enrichment of the local bourgeoisie, often active in the textile trade and industry. The buildings of this era generally reflect a sober and elegant style, adapted to the residential and professional needs of the elites. No mention is made of an architect or of a specific event related to its construction.
