Origin and history

The building at 64 Dauphine Street in Le Havre is a monument dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is an example of civil architecture of this period, marked by an inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1946, covering specifically its facades and roofs. This ranking demonstrates its heritage interest, although details of its history or original occupants remain undocumented in available sources.

The location of this building in the centre of Le Havre reflects the gradual urbanization of the city, a major port since the 16th century. At that time, Normandy was a dynamic region marked by maritime trade and an expanding trading bourgeoisie. The buildings of this period often served as residences for traders or shipowners, playing a key role in local economic and social life. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the architectural and urban evolution of the region.

The available data indicate that the exact address, initially recorded as "44 Dauphine Street", has been updated to the current number 64. This administrative precision illustrates the frequent adjustments in the toponymy of cities, especially after urban reconstructions or reorganizations. No additional information is provided on any architectural changes or historical owners.

The 1946 inscription, by ministerial decree, underlines the post-Second World War will to protect French heritage, in a context where many cities, such as Le Havre, had suffered significant damage. This early ranking suggests that the building already had remarkable features, although the exact criteria for this protection are not detailed in the sources consulted.

Today, the building does not seem open to public visit according to available practical information. Its current use (residential, commercial or other) is not specified, but its location in the city centre and its protected status make it a significant part of the havre landscape. The photographs available, such as Guy Moussel's Creative Commons license, allow us to appreciate its facades, typical of Norman architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries.
