Façade sur pan coupé including the wrought iron balcony: inscription by decree of 23 November 1946
Origin and history
The house at 16 Aristide-Briand Street in Arras is an iconic 18th-century building. It is characterized by a panel façade, including a wrought iron balcony, elements protected by a decree of inscription under the Historical Monuments dated November 23, 1946. These architectural details reflect the style and craftsmanship of the period, typical of bourgeois constructions in the region.
The location of this monument, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (code Insee 62041), makes it a witness to the urban planning of Arras under the Ancien Régime. At that time, the city, then in full economic and cultural growth, saw the development of cossuous houses for a rising bourgeoisie. The houses of that time often served as residences for merchants, local notables or officers, playing a central role in the social and economic life of the city.
Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight the heritage importance of this house, although the accuracy of its location is considered poor (note 4/10). No additional information is provided on its current use, whether it is an opening to the public, room rental or accommodation activity such as guest rooms.
