Origin and history

The building located in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is a historic monument whose protection specifically concerns the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on 18 March 1920, it is distinguished by its emblematic location on the Grande-Place, in the heart of the city. Its official address, 28 Grande-Place, reflects its integration into the central urban fabric, although GPS coordinates suggest a close location at 1 Rue Paul Perrin.

The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties as to its exact location. This building is part of the architectural heritage of Arras, a city marked by its medieval history and its strategic role in northern France. Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum highlight its heritage importance without providing additional details about its history or occupants.

At the time of its construction, probably prior to 1920, Arras was a dynamic city, influenced by its commercial and artisanal past. The buildings of the Grande-Place, often built between the 17th and 19th centuries, served as both places of residence, commerce and social representation. Their preservation reflects the attachment to an urban heritage characteristic of Flemish and Picardy cities, where civil architecture played a central role in community life.
