Origin and history

The hotel at 184 Grande-Rue in Dieppe is a civil monument built during the first half of the 18th century. This building is distinguished by a facade decorated with a triangular pediment, characteristic of the classical architecture of this period. Its inscription in the Historical Monuments, by order of 15 April 1991, specifically protects the façade, the roof on street, as well as the right of way in its original provisions.

Dieppe, the historic port of Normandy, experienced a boom in the 18th century linked to maritime trade and fisheries. Private hotels of that time often reflect the prosperity of local elites, whether they are merchant, shipowner or members of the royal administration. These urban residences, like that of the Grande-Rue, embody the social prestige and economic influence of their owners, while integrating into the traditional architectural fabric of the city.

The protection of the monument in 1991 underscores its heritage interest, in particular its state of conservation and its representativeness of the civil architecture of the Dieppois. The protected elements, such as the facade and roof, bear witness to the constructive techniques and aesthetic cannons of the Enlightenment century. The exact address, 174 to 184 Grande-Rue, confirms its anchoring in the historic center of Dieppe, an area marked by a dense and varied heritage.
