Origin and history

The house at 14 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is a civil building dating from the 18th century. It is distinguished by its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments, an official recognition obtained by ministerial decree in 1948. This protection specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements representative of the period and the region.

Arras, the city of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France, was in the 18th century a dynamic urban centre marked by a prosperous bourgeoisie and an expanding architectural heritage. The houses of this period often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and ornamental details. This type of building was involved in the structuring of the urban fabric and in the visual identity of the city, then undergoing economic and social transformation.
