Origin and history

The building located at 17 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 St. Croix Cathedral, creating a balanced urban perspective.

The façade and roof of this building were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 23 January 1945. This heritage recognition underscores its role in the Orléan urban landscape, marked by a municipal desire for aesthetic control. Today, the building belongs to a private company, and its current use (housing, commerce or other) is not specified in the available sources.

Jeanne-d'Arc Street, where the building stands, illustrates a period of rigorous urban planning in Orléans. The constructions, although varied in their style, respect a common scale, reflecting the hygienist and aesthetic principles of Haussmannian amenities, adapted to a medium-sized city. The location, close to the cathedral, makes it a witness to the evolution of the city centre between religious tradition and modernization.
