Origin and history

The building, located at 103 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of the period, marked by a rock decoration on the facade, an ornamental style emblematic of the middle of the Enlightenment century. The building was built under the impulse of the Fathers of Saint-Lazarus, a religious congregation known for its social and educational engagement in the capital.

The building was partially protected under the Historic Monuments by an order of 9 March 1992. This decree specifically concerns the facades on street and courtyard, the roofs, as well as the stairwell of the main building. The rock decor, characteristic of the period, reflects the artistic influence of the period and the importance attached to the beautification of urban buildings.

The location of the building in the Faubourg-Saint-Denis district reflects the increasing urbanization of Paris in the 18th century. This sector, then expanding, was home to a mixed population of artisans, religious and bourgeois. The Fathers of Saint-Lazare, by building this building, helped shape the architectural and social landscape of this historic district.
