Origin and history

The building at 4 rue de la Taillerie in Arras is a listed monument whose facade was protected by a ministerial decree. This ranking, which took place on November 12, 1919, underscores its heritage interest, although specific architectural or historical details are not documented in available sources. The exact address, confirmed by the Mérimée bases and GPS coordinates, places this building in the city centre of Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

At the time of its protection, in 1919, Arras emerged from the bruised First World War, during which time the city suffered extensive damage. Monuments classified at this time often reflect a desire to preserve a threatened or symbolic heritage in a context of national reconstruction. The buildings of this period, even if not accurately dated, are part of the urban and historical identity of Arras, a city marked by its medieval past and its strategic role in northern France.

Their preservation also addresses issues of collective memory and transmission to future generations.
