Origin and history

The building located at 72 rue Quincampoix, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 18th century. This building, representative of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, was partially protected by an inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1974, covering specifically its facade and roof on street. Its location in the Marais district, then in the midst of urban transformation during the reign of Louis XV, makes it a witness to the architectural and social evolutions of Paris at this time.

The location of the building, specified as "passable" (note 5/10) in the heritage databases, corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée database. There is a slight discrepancy between the administrative address (72 Quincampoix Street) and the GPS coordinates (74 Quincampoix Street), reflecting current inaccuracies in historical geolocation systems. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any significant owners or occupants.

Ranked as Historic Monument by order of 12 April 1974, this building illustrates the heritage interest in the facades and roofs of ancient buildings as part of the preservation policies of the 20th century. Available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée data) do not mention any architect, sponsor, or specific historical events related to this site. Its protected status, however, underlines its role in the conservation of the 18th century Parisian urban landscape.
