Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building at the 13 Grande-Place in Arras is a historic monument whose protection specifically concerns the facade. This classification was formalized by an order dated September 15, 1919, marking its heritage value in the post-First World War context. The precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), places the building in the heart of the city, in an emblematic area.

Arras, the capital of Pas-de-Calais, suffered significant destruction during the First World War, making the preservation of historical facades a major challenge for reconstruction. The buildings of the Grande-Place, often of classical or baroque style, reflect the urban and commercial history of the region. Their protection was in response to a desire to preserve architectural traces despite the upheavals associated with the conflict.

No further details on the specific history of this building or its occupants are available from the sources consulted.
