Origin and history

The building located at 13 rue Jeanne-d This regulation imposed a uniform height of cornices and headbands for all street houses, creating a visual harmony designed to highlight the nearby cathedral. Each facade, although stylistically distinct, respects this common scale, illustrating a planning rare for the period.

The protection of the facade and cover by decree of 23 January 1945 underlines its heritage importance. This choice reflects the desire to preserve a witness of Orléan urbanism, where architectural unity served an aesthetic and symbolic objective, linked to the valorization of the central religious monument. The Jeanne d'Arc Street, thus structured, offers a remarkable example of integration between civilian habitat and sacred heritage.

The available data do not specify the sponsors or architects of these buildings, but their collective design reveals a collaborative approach between the municipality and the owners. The lack of details about historical occupants or past uses limits the understanding of their social role, although their location in the city centre suggests a residential or commercial function, typical of the main streets in the 19th century.
