Origin and history

The building at 3 rue Du Guesclin in Nantes was built in the 18th century. It is a typical example of the Haitian civil architecture of this period, marked by growing urban development and an influential trading bourgeoisie. Its listing in the inventory of historical monuments, by order of 7 August 1941, underscores its heritage interest, notably for its facade and roof overlooking the Turenne wharf and Duguesclin street.

The 1941 official protection specifically concerns the façade and roofing on the Turenne wharf, as well as the roofing on Duguesclin Street. This heritage recognition is part of a broader context of preservation of the old building in Nantes, a city whose port and commerce have shaped architectural identity. The protected elements reflect construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue in the Enlightenment century.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm the exact address of the building (3 rue Duguesclin, 44100 Nantes) and its membership in the Loire-Atlantique department, in the Pays de la Loire region. The approximate location from the GPS coordinates also mentions the 10 bis quai Turenne, suggesting a possible extension or geolocation error in the databases. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.).
