Facade and cover: registration by decree of 23 January 1945

Origin and history

The building located at 11 rue Jeanne-d This regulation has imposed uniformity of heights (aligned cornices) and levels (standardized floor strips), while leaving open the diversity of facade styles. The objective was to offer a harmonious perspective leading to the cathedral, the central monument of the city. The houses on this street, although varied in their decor, thus respect a common scale, creating a remarkable visual unit.

The protection of this building, by order of 23 January 1945, specifically concerns its façade and its cover. This classification as Historic Monument underlines its role in the Orléan urban landscape, where civil architecture dialogues with religious heritage. The emblematic street of Jeanne d'Arc illustrates this monumental setting, typical of 19th-century urban developments in France.

The location of the building, specified by the Merimée data (Insee code 45234), confirms its anchoring in the Loiret department and the Centre-Val de Loire region. Although the sources do not detail its original use, its integration into an orderly set suggests a residential or commercial vocation, in line with the urban development of the time.
