Origin and history

The building at 6 rue Caumartin, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of the late Ancien Régime, a period marked by urban growth and a search for elegance in the facades. Its inscription as Monument Historique, by decree of 30 December 1977, specifically concerns its facade and roof on street, highlighting their heritage value and their stylistic representativeness.

The location of the building in a central district of Paris reflects the increasing urbanization of the capital in the 18th century. At that time, the streets like Caumartin, close to the main commercial routes and the places of power, attracted an easy bourgeoisie and artisans. The buildings of this period were often designed to combine functionality (housing, workshops) and aesthetics, with stone facades and slate roofs, characteristics still visible today.

The available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address (6 Caumartin Street) corresponds to the officially recorded address, although the GPS location is considered "passible" (note 5/10). No information is provided on any owners, architects or specific historical events related to this building. Its classification protects a modest but emblematic architectural heritage of pre-revolutionary Paris.
