Origin and history

The building at 14 rue de l'Odéon, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of the late Ancien Régime, a period marked by a refinement of the urban facades and a gradual standardization of Parisian constructions. Its inscription in the inventory of Historical Monuments in 1947 specifically concerns the facade on street and roof, elements representative of the style of the era.

The location of this building, in a central and cultural district of Paris, reflects the increasing urbanization of the capital in the 18th century. The street of the Odeon, close to the theatre of the same name (opened in 1782), is part of a changing urban fabric, where bourgeois residences, venues and intellectual activities are mixed. The inscription in the title of Historic Monuments underscores the heritage value of its structure, preserved despite the subsequent transformations of the neighborhood.

The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address (14 rue de l-Odéon) corresponds to the address given in the archives. No additional information is provided on original owners, architects or specific events related to the building. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair (note 5/10), indicating minor uncertainty about its exact location in historical records.
