Origin and history

The house located at 42 rue Royale in Orléans is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 12 July 1928, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. Although the details of its precise history or its architect remain unknown, this protection reflects its heritage interest in the Orléan urban landscape.

The houses of this time, often built in the city centre, reflected the local architectural styles and bourgeois lifestyles of the early twentieth century. In Orléans, as in other cities in the Centre-Val de Loire region, these buildings were involved in the structuring of neighbourhoods, mixing housing, commerce and sometimes crafts. Their preservation makes it possible today to preserve the memory of the urban and social evolutions of the city.
