Origin and history

The building at 3 rue du Helder, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building illustrates the Parisian residential architecture of that time, marked by the rise of the Haussmannian style and the façades aligned on street. Its inscription as Historic Monument in 1977 specifically concerns its facade and roof, emblematic elements of its architectural heritage.

The location of the building in a central district of Paris reflects the intense urbanization of the 19th century, when the capital is transformed under the impulse of major works. The buildings of that time were often destined for a rising bourgeoisie, combining elegance of facades and functionality of interior spaces. Their preservation today reflects the importance attached to this urban heritage, a symbol of a rich social and architectural history.

The Registration Order of 30 December 1977 underlines the heritage value of this building, although the available sources (such as the Merimée or Monumentum base) do not specify the detailed reasons for this protection. The exact address, confirmed by GPS coordinates and administrative data, places the building in the heart of a historic district, between opera and large boulevards, emblematic of the Parisian life of the nineteenth century.
