Its inscription, dated 12 February 1927, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered remarkable. Although the details of its history and origin remain limited in the available sources, this official protection reflects its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Lille.

The houses of this type, often built in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries in the city centres, reflected the social status of their owners and served as bourgeois residences or places of commercial activity. In Lille, a city marked by a rich industrial and commercial history, these buildings were involved in the structuring of the central districts, combining housing and economic life. Their preservation allows today to preserve the architectural and urban memory of the Hauts-de-France region.
