Origin and history

The building located Place des Héros in Arras is a listed monument whose protection is specifically on its façade. This ranking, which has been official since a decree of December 26, 1919, underscores its heritage interest in the context of post-First World War reconstruction. The precise location, in 52 place des Héros (or Petite-Place), makes it a landmark in the city centre of Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

Arras, the city of Nord-Pas-de-Calais (now Hauts-de-France), has had a rich urban history, particularly marked by the destruction of the Great War. The buildings of this period, often rebuilt or preserved, reflect architectural styles in vogue at the beginning of the twentieth century. Their facade, like that of this building, embodies both an aesthetic heritage and a collective memory, linked to the resilience of the city after conflict.

These buildings generally served as housing, shops or sociability sites, playing a central role in the daily life of the Arrageois.
