Timeline

Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building at 74 Grand Place in Arras is a historic monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 20 February 1920. This ranking, which came under the cadastral reference D 310, highlights its heritage importance in the city centre. The building has been part of the architectural landscape of the Grand Place, the historical and commercial heart of Arras for centuries.

The information available on this building remains limited to administrative data and its precise location, confirmed by GPS coordinates and the official address. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), which allows to identify its location in the central square. No source details its history, past occupants, or its original use, but its classification in 1920 attests to its architectural or historical value to the city.

The Hauts-de-France region, and particularly Arras, underwent a major reconstruction after the First World War, during which the preservation of ancient facades could symbolize a desire to preserve an urban heritage despite the destruction.
