Origin and history

The building, located at 155 rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 18th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and roofs typical of Parisian urbanism of the period. Its inscription as a Historic Monument in 1974 highlights its heritage interest, especially for its exterior elements (facade and roof) that have been preserved.

The location of this building, in the historic Marais district, reflects the urban evolution of Paris in the Enlightenment century. At that time, the 3rd arrondissement was a place of residence for the bourgeoisie and artisans, with lively streets like Rue Saint-Martin, a major axis linking the north to the centre of the city. The buildings of this period were often used as housing and workshops, combining residential and economic functions.

The inscription by decree of 12 April 1974 specifically concerns the façade and the roof on street, thus protecting the exterior architectural features. No information is available on any historic owners or occupants or on any internal transformations. Location data, although accurate (address and GPS coordinates), are considered to be of medium quality (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in heritage bases.
