Origin and history

The house located at 17 rue des Agaches in Arras is a monument representative of civil architecture of the first half of the eighteenth century. This building, whose street façade was inscribed under the title of Historic Monuments by decree of 19 November 1946, illustrates the architectural style in vogue in the region at that time. The precise location of this monument, although noted as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), corresponds to an address clearly identified in the Merimée database and GPS data.

Arras, the city of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France region, was at this time a dynamic urban centre, marked by a rising bourgeoisie and flourishing commercial and craft activities. The houses of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and decorative elements characteristic of the classical style. This type of building, typical of 18th century urban planning, played a central role in everyday life, sheltering both housing and sometimes professional activities.

The information available, mainly from the Monumentum database and internal data, highlights the heritage importance of this house, while indicating that it is not open to visit. Its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments bears witness to its architectural value and the desire to preserve this local heritage. No additional information concerning any owners, architects or specific historical events related to this monument is mentioned in the sources consulted.
