Origin and history

The building at 25 rue Victor-Massé, 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 by an inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1977, specifically covering its facade and roof on street. Its location, in a neighborhood undergoing transformation under the Second Empire, reflects the growing urbanization of Paris and the emergence of new architectural styles adapted to the rising bourgeoisie.

The location of the building, reported with average accuracy (level 5/10) in the heritage databases, is associated with two close addresses: one official (25 Victor-Massé Street) and another approximate from GPS coordinates (82 Dunkirk Street). This geographical ambiguity illustrates the challenges in the documentation of urban monuments, which are often subject to road overhauls or scoping errors. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) or on any owners or architects who have marked its history.

Available sources, including the Merimée base and the Monumentum platform, confirm its protected status but do not provide details of its social history or occupants. The 1977 Registration Order, however, emphasizes the heritage importance of its façade, typical of Haussmannian or pre-Hhaussmannian buildings, although the exact period of construction (1800–50) is not specified. The photographic credit allocated to MOSSOT under Creative Commons license indicates recent visual documentation, but without associated historical archive.
