Origin and history

The building located in Arras, in the Pas-de-Calais department, is a historical monument whose protection specifically concerns the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on 26 December 1919, it is located in the city centre, on the Place des Héros, an emblematic place of the commune. No additional information is available on its architecture, sponsor or original use.

The location of this building, in the heart of Arras, reflects the importance of the heritage built in the cities of northern France after the First World War. At that time, the reconstruction and preservation of historic facades was a priority to restore identity to the devastated urban centres. Monuments like this, although partially documented, illustrate the conservation efforts of the early twentieth century.
