Origin and history

The building at 58 rue Saint-Lazare, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by increasing urbanization and standardization of facades in the capital. Its inscription as Historic Monument by decree of 30 December 1977 specifically concerns the facades on street and garden, as well as the corresponding roofs, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness for the time.

The location of the building in a central district of Paris reflects the urban development of the early 19th century, marked by the expansion of bourgeois neighbourhoods and the emergence of new roads. At that time, Paris was undergoing a major transformation under the impetus of urban planning, with the creation of aligned streets and buildings with harmonized facades. The buildings of this period, often intended for an affluent population, incorporate careful architectural elements, as evidenced by the protections granted to this building.

The building is now owned by a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public. The available information indicates a "passable" location accuracy (note 5/10), and its exact address is confirmed by the Merimée base, although GPS coordinates suggest an approximation at 60 rue Saint-Lazare. No mention is made of an opening to the visit, of a room rental or of a use as a guest room, suggesting a vocation mainly residential or professional.
