Origin and history

The building at 100-102 rue Beauvoisine in Rouen is a 17th and 18th century building. It is distinguished by its civil architecture, typical of the urban constructions of this period in Normandy. Although the details of its initial construction are not specified, its listing as Historic Monuments in 1962 underscores its heritage importance, particularly for its facade and roof overlooking Beauvoisine Street.

The location of this building, in downtown Rouen, reflects the gradual urbanization of the city during the modern era. At that time Rouen was a major commercial and cultural hub, where such buildings often housed artisanal, commercial or residential activities. The partial protection of the building (facade and roof) suggests a desire to preserve the most emblematic architectural elements, witness to the stylistic evolutions between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the building is still located at its historic address, without any mention of a major conversion to open space. Its state of conservation and current use are not detailed, but its status as a Historic Monument guarantees special attention to its preservation. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory", which facilitates its identification in the urban fabric of Rouen.
