Origin and history

The House of Epernay is a historical monument whose Renaissance façade, dating from the mid-16th century, constitutes the protected element. Originally located elsewhere, this facade was moved several times before being definitively brought back to the courtyard of the 7 rue du Docteur-Verron. Its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 19 May 1993 attests to its heritage value, although its exact location has long been a question, as evidenced by the accuracy considered "fair" (note 5/10) in the geographical databases.

The property of this facade is now owned by the commune of Epernay, in the department of Marne (Great East). The available sources, including Monumentum and Mérimée data, highlight its architectural interest, typical of the Renaissance civil buildings in Champagne. However, no information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, or other) or on any historical characters related to its construction or transformation.

The official address recorded in the Mérimée base (7 rue du Docteur-Verron) differs slightly from the GPS coordinates (9 rue Docteur Verron), reflecting the uncertainties surrounding its precise location. The facade, classified under the BI 393 cadastre, remains the only protected element of the monument, without mentioning other interior parts or decorations. Available photographs, such as the one credited to October Ends under Creative Commons license, document its current state without revealing any additional elements about its history or past occupants.
