Façade: by order of 10 October 1919
Origin and history
The building located in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is a historical monument whose protection relates specifically to the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree in 1919, it is located in the city centre, close to the Grande-Place, an emblematic place of reconstruction after the First World War. Its official address, 56 Grande-Place, and its approximate GPS location (2 Rue de la Fleur de Lys) reflect its anchoring in the urban fabric of Arrange.
The 1919 classification underscores the heritage importance of its façade, probably representative of local architectural styles or construction techniques of the time. Although the sources do not specify its original use, the buildings of Grande-Place d'Arras were often linked to commercial, residential or administrative activities in a city marked by its medieval history and its regional economic role. The Hauts-de-France region, and particularly Arras, experienced massive destruction during the First World War, making the preservation of such buildings all the more significant.
