Origin and history

The building at 179 rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 18th century. It is part of the civil architectural heritage of the capital, marked by the classical styles and urban evolutions of the period. Its facade and roof, characteristic of this period, were protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on 12 April 1974.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the increasing urbanization of the city in the 18th century. At that time, the Marais and its surroundings, including the 3rd arrondissement, were residential areas popular with the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. The buildings of this period often served as housing for wealthy families, while sometimes sheltering workshops or shops on the ground floor, illustrating the functional mix of Parisian neighbourhoods.

Available data, including from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight the heritage importance of this building. Although the information on its specific history is limited, its inscription as a Historical Monument bears witness to its architectural value and its role in the Parisian urban landscape. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), and visual sources, such as Creative Commons licensed photographs, contribute to its documentation.
