Origin and history

The building at 10 rue de la Taillerie in Arras is a representative 18th century civil building. Ranked Historic Monument by decree of 17 January 1920, it is distinguished by its facade, the only protected part (cadastre AB 812). This building illustrates the urban architecture of the period, marked by a concern for elegance and symmetry, typical of the prosperous cities of northern France at that time.

The location of the building in the historic centre of Arras reflects the importance of this city as a commercial and cultural hub under the Old Regime. At that time, Arras was a dynamic city, marked by a rising bourgeoisie and flourishing artisanal activities. The buildings of this period often served as residences for local merchants or notables, while sometimes sheltering shops or shops on the ground floor. Their preservation today bears witness to the architectural and social heritage of the region.

The building is currently private property, which limits its access to the public. The information available, from the Merimée and Monumentum bases, highlights its heritage interest without specifying its current use (housing, offices, etc.). The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), indicating a confirmed address but GPS coordinates that could be improved.
