Origin and history

The building located at 166 Beauvoisine Street in Rouen is a building representative of the civil architecture of the early 19th century. Built in the first quarter of this century, it illustrates the urban style of the post-revolutionary period, marked by a resumption of constructions and a standardization of facades in the city centres.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building has been granted special protection since the decree of 28 June 1963, which concerns its street façade and roof. This heritage recognition underscores its architectural and historical interest in the Rouen countryside, although its precise location is considered mediocre (level 5/10) according to the precision criteria available.

In the 19th century, the city of Rouen, Normandy, experienced an economic boom linked to its port and textile industry. The buildings of this time, like the one on Rue Beauvoisine, often reflect bourgeois prosperity and the evolution of urban lifestyles. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and architectural organization of the city at this time.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the exact address of the building is 166 Beauvoisine Street, although a GPS approximation is located at 164. No additional information is provided on its past or present uses or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
