Origin and history

The house of Périgueux, built in the 2nd half of the 19th century, is part of a series of private hotels built from the 1870s. Its eclectic architecture is distinguished by an inspired 17th century facade, combining classic references and neo-style ornaments. This type of realization reflects the urban boom and social affirmation of the perigord bourgeoisie under the Second Empire and the Third Republic, a period marked by the modernization of cities and a pronounced taste for historical pastiches.

The building, classified as Historic Monument by order of 23 May 2005, includes the house in full, its fence, two commons and the ground of its plot. Its interior decoration, especially in the rooms of the appartment, mobilizes neo-style elements, typical of 19th century architectural eclecticism. The location at the 9 aisles of Tourny, a central artery of Périgueux, highlights its status as a major heritage element in the city's urban landscape, now integrated into the New Aquitaine region.

The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), and its exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, attests to its anchoring in the historical district. Although the practical information about his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not detailed, his registration as a Historical Monument guarantees his preservation. Available sources, such as Monumentum, highlight its architectural and historical interest, without mentioning any sponsors or architects identified.
