Origin and history

The building located at the 19 quai de l'Horloge and 2 rue de Harlay, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second quarter of the 17th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by a transition between late Renaissance and early classical styles. Its facades and roofs, typical of Parisian urbanism of the time, were recognized for their heritage value from the beginning of the twentieth century.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building was the subject of two separate protective stops: its facades were inscribed by order of 15 February 1928, while its roofs were later registered on 20 September 1950. These measures reflect the importance attached to the preservation of the emblematic architectural elements of the Grand Century Paris. The location of the building, close to major institutional sites such as the Palace of Justice, highlights its anchoring in a central historic district.

Available sources, including the Mérimée and Monumentum database, confirm its precise address and its Insee code (75101), attached to the Île-de-France region. Although the practical information about his visit or current use is not detailed, his protected status makes him a silent witness to the urban and architectural evolution of Paris since the 17th century.
