Origin and history

The building at 44 rue de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building, representative of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, was partially protected under the Historical Monuments. Its inscription by decree of 30 December 1977 specifically concerns the facade and roof on the street, highlighting their heritage value and their role in the urban landscape of the district.

The location of the building, in a district that was undergoing transformation in the 19th century, reflects the expansion of Paris under the influence of Baron Haussmann and major urban works. At this time, the buildings of report, often constructed of cut stone with symmetrical facades and zinc roofs, are multiplying to meet the growing demand for bourgeois housing. These buildings embody the social and economic changes of the capital, marked by industrialization and the influx of people.

Available data, including data from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address of the building corresponds to the address given in the official archives. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), which can be explained by approximate GPS coordinates or partially incomplete historical sources. No additional information is provided on its current use, such as an opening to the public or a conversion to a cultural or residential area.

The protection of the facade and roof, typical of the preservation measures of the Historical Monuments, aims to preserve the most visible and emblematic architectural elements. These legal provisions, which have been applied since the late 1970s, preserve the historic character of Parisian streets, while allowing contemporary interior developments. The building on Rue de Clichy is thus part of a wider urban heritage, where the balance between conservation and modernity remains a constant issue.

No mention is made of historical characters related to this building, nor of any significant events being held. Sources are limited to architectural and administrative descriptions, without anecdotes or biographical details. This lack of additional contextual information is common for reporting buildings, whose value lies more in their collective representativeness than in an exceptional individual history.
