Origin and history

The building located at 68 rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is a building built between the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. It illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period of transition between the Ancien Régime and the Industrial Revolution, marked by increasing urbanization and major social transformations. Its facades and roofs, both on street and on courtyard and garden, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments in 1977, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness for the urban history of Paris.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the importance of this district in the 19th century, then in full economic and cultural expansion. At that time, such buildings often housed bourgeois, artisans or traders, thus participating in the dynamic life of the capital. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use or its historical occupants, its architecture and protection testify to its role in the Parisian urban landscape.

The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair, and its exact address is confirmed by Merimée bases and GPS coordinates.
