Origin and history

The building, located at 183 rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th-century building. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and worked interior stairs. Its inscription in the Inventory of Historic Monuments in 1974 specifically concerns the façade on street, the roof and the staircase, representative of the Parisian heritage of the period.

The location of this building, in the Marais district, reflects the gradual urbanization of Paris in the 18th century, where private hotels and report buildings multiplied. Although the archives do not specify its initial use, this type of building was often intended to house bourgeois families or artisans. The accuracy of its location, assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), suggests minor uncertainties about its exact location, despite a clearly identified address.

The protections applied in 1974 underline the heritage value of this building, typical of the preservation policies carried out in France after the war. The absence of any mention of its accessibility (visits, rentals) indicates that it could be a private place, without a tourist vocation. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status but do not provide details of its history or occupants.
