Façade: by order of 23 February 1921
Origin and history
The building located Place des Héros in Arras is a historical monument whose protection is specifically on the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on February 23, 1921, it bears witness to the heritage importance accorded to certain urban architectural elements in the early twentieth century. Its exact address, 9-11 place des Héros (also called Petite-Place), places it in the heart of a central sector of the city, marked by a dense urban history.
The location of the building, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the databases, remains an anchor point to understand the evolution of the hindsight structure. Arras, the capital of Pas-de-Calais, has undergone major transformations over the centuries, especially during world conflicts. Buildings like this, often rebuilt or preserved, reflect efforts to preserve the local heritage after destruction. Their facade, a protected element, illustrates the architectural styles characteristic of the region, sometimes mixing Flemish and French influences.
No additional information is available on the specific history of this building, its past occupants, or its original use. Data are limited to its legal protection and geographical location.

Its ranking is part of a broader approach to preserving the French urban heritage after the First World War.
