Origin and history
The mansion located at 68 rue Ampère in the 17th arrondissement of Paris is an emblematic building of the last quarter of the 19th century. Opened in 1862, Ampère Street saw this hotel rise around 1880, probably designed by engineer Weyher, with sculptures signed by Antoine Margotin. Its neo-Gothic style, both in front and inside, makes it a rare architectural testimony of this period, supplemented by a Moorish cabinet with more recent decor.
The protection of this monument was formalized by an inscription on 13 July 2007. This recognition concerns facades, roofs, as well as several remarkable interior spaces: the ground floor with its decor, the vestibule, the staircase and its cage, a neo-Gothic office, and the Moorish cabinet. These elements illustrate the artistic richness and eclecticism of late 19th-century Parisian architecture.
The mansion is also distinguished by its workshop on the last level, opening onto the courtyard, and its association with renowned architects and artisans. Henri Deverin, architect, and Weyher, engineer, contributed to his design, while Antoine Margotin's sculptures add an additional artistic dimension. This monument thus embodies the creative dynamism and urban evolution of Paris at that time.
