Origin and history

The Hennebique building, located at 1 rue Danton in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic building of the late 19th century. Built during the 4th quarter of the 19th century, it illustrates the architectural innovations of its era, notably with the use of reinforced concrete, a pioneering technique developed by François Hennebique. Although the source text does not explicitly specify this technique for this building, its name evokes this historical association.

The protection of this building as a historical monument was formalized by an order of 16 October 1964, specifically covering its street façade and the corresponding roof. This recognition highlights its heritage importance, linked to its architecture and its integration into the Parisian urban landscape. The architect or contractor identified in the sources is Arnauld, although his name or biographical details are not specified.

Located in a central district of Paris, this building is located in a district marked by a dense architectural and urban history. The 6th arrondissement, known for its Haussmannian buildings and cultural institutions, offers a setting where this building is distinguished by its style and history. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), suggesting a clear but perfectable identification of its exact location.

Available sources, including Monumentum and internal data, highlight its status as a historical monument without providing additional details on its current use (visit, rental, etc.). The absence of information on any public access or tourist vocation suggests that it is primarily a residential or mixed-use building, typical of its time and its Parisian environment.
