Origin and history

The building located at 5 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed uniformity of heights (aligned cornices) and levels (standardized floor strips), while allowing for a diversity of facades. The aim was to harmonize the street to highlight the cathedral, thus creating a balanced urban perspective.

The protection of this building, by order of 23 January 1945, specifically concerns its façade and its cover. This measure reflects its heritage interest in the Orléan landscape, marked by a desire for symmetry and collective aesthetics. Jeanne d'Arc Street, with its aligned houses, thus illustrates ambitious urban planning, typical of the transformations of city centres in the 19th century.

The location of the building, close to the cathedral, highlights its role in the visual composition of the city. Municipal rules have framed not only the dimensions, but also the scale of constructions, guaranteeing an architectural unit despite the variety of styles. Today, this building bears witness to this urban history, although its geographical accuracy is considered "passable" (note 5/10) in heritage databases.
