Origin and history

The building located at 1 rue du Helder in the 9th arrondissement of Paris is an emblematic building of the 1st quarter of the 19th century. This building, whose facades and roofs on the street are protected, illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by a style often sober and elegant, typical of the beginning of the century.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the building was registered by order on 30 December 1977, subsequently amended on 20 January 2003. These protections highlight its heritage interest, especially for its external elements which reflect the architectural techniques and tastes of the Napoleonic era or the Restoration.

The location of the building, in a central district of Paris, makes it a witness to the urbanization and transformations of the capital in the early 19th century. At that time, Paris experienced a significant expansion, with the construction of many related buildings intended for a growing bourgeoisie, while keeping traces of the Haussmann plans to come.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum indicate that the exact address is 1 rue du Helder, although GPS coordinates sometimes suggest an approximation (3 rue du Helder). This minor disparity reflects the challenges of accurate location in heritage databases, where accuracy is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10).
