Origin and history

The building at 62 Dauphine Street in Le Havre is a 16th and 17th century monument. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the Norman region, although the precise details of its construction or its first occupants are not mentioned in the available sources.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building was officially protected by order of 11 June 1946, specifically covering its facades and roofs. This registration demonstrates its heritage importance, although the specific reasons for this protection are not detailed in the documents consulted.

The location of the building in the centre of Le Havre suggests a role in the city's urban history, especially at a time when it was a major developing port. The buildings of this period were often used as housing for merchants, artisans or shipowners, reflecting the intense economic activity associated with maritime commerce.

Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate an approximate location with an accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory". The exact address, 62 Dauphine Street (formerly 42), is confirmed by the Merimée base, but no additional details on its past or current use are provided.

The building does not seem open to the public for visits, room rental or guest rooms, according to the practical information mentioned. Its current state or contemporary use is not specified in the accessible data.

Finally, the Creative Commons license associated with Philippe Alès' photo indicates a willingness to share the images of the heritage, but no other visual or descriptive elements are available to complete this presentation.
