Origin and history
The houses at 10 Place Saint-Etienne and 8 Place de la Chambre in Metz date from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. They illustrate the civil architecture of the pre-revolutionary Lorraine, with facades and roofs partially protected from the twentieth century. Their style reflects the influence of local masters, such as Jacques-François Blondel, who was identified as responsible for the work.
The protection of the heritage concerned first of all the facade on Place Saint-Etienne, classified by decree of 5 January 1923. A second classification, in 1959, extended the protection to the facades and roofs of the pavilion. These measures underline the historical and aesthetic value of these buildings, today the headquarters of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC) of the Greater East.
The exact address, referenced in the Merimée database under Insee code 57463, confirms their anchoring in the city centre of Metz. Localization, rated as "passible" (level 5/10), and available views (like Street View) facilitate their identification. Their current use, administrative, contrasts with their initial vocation, probably residential or related to bourgeois activities of the time.
