Origin and history

The house located 9 Place Sainte-Croix in Orléans is a historic monument whose facades and roofs were inscribed by order of 19 February 1940. It is part of a coherent architectural ensemble, characterized by an overall ordinance and a voluntarily harmonized decor. Its location opposite the Cathedral of Orleans gives it a notable urban position, integrated with the built heritage of the city centre.

The building illustrates a period when Orlean civil architecture sought to combine unified aesthetics and functionality, in a context of valorizing the historic centre. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its listing as historical monuments highlights its heritage interest, especially in its external elements (facades and roofs). The location, specified as "satisfactory" (note 5/10), allows it to be located with relative accuracy on Place Sainte-Croix.

No information is available on its detailed history, occupants or initial function. The data are limited to its legal status (registration in 1940) and its summary architectural description. The Creative Commons license associated with his photo indicates a desire for cultural dissemination, but without specifying his current access (visit, rental, etc.).
