Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building at 54 Grande-Place in Arras is a historic monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 12 January 1920. This classification reflects its architectural or heritage interest, although details of its original construction or use are not specified in available sources. The exact address, confirmed by the Mérimée base, places the building in the heart of the city centre, in an area marked by dense urbanization and a rich historical past.

Arras, the city of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France region, has had a turbulent urban history, notably marked by successive reconstructions after the conflicts. The buildings of the Grande-Place, like this one, often fit into an architectural fabric reflecting periods of commercial prosperity or restoration. The protection of the facade in 1920 suggests a desire to preserve a representative element of local identity, in a post-First World War context where the preservation of heritage became a national priority.
