Origin and history

The building in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (Hauts-de-France), is a historical monument whose facade was classified by ministerial decree. This ranking, which took place on March 18, 1920, underscores its historic importance in the city centre, especially on the Grande-Place, an emblematic place of the commune. The available coordinates also place the building near Paul Perrin Street, although the precise location is subject to a mixed assessment (level 5/10 depending on the sources).

Arras, a city marked by a rich urban history, has seen its centre rebuilt several times, especially after the destruction of the two world wars. The buildings of the Grande-Place, often dated from the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries or rebuilt in a traditional style, embody the commercial and social role of this area. Although the sources do not specify the exact period of construction of this building, its early classification (1920) suggests an architectural or historical value recognized as early as between the two wars.

Monuments of this type were then used as dwellings, shops or places of representation for local elites.
