Origin and history

The house at 77 rue des Augustines in Arras is a historical monument dating from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. This civilian building illustrates the domestic architecture of this period, marked by characteristic facades and roofs. Its inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 3 July 1987 specifically concerns facades and roofs on street and courtyard, emphasizing its heritage interest.

Arras, the town of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France region, was in the 18th century a dynamic urban centre, marked by a rising bourgeoisie and a flourishing commercial activity. The houses of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and decorative elements typical of the classic style. This type of building contributed to the structure of the urban fabric and to the beautification of the city, then in full economic and cultural expansion.

The precise location of this house, at 77 rue des Augustines, is attested by the Mérimée and Monumentum bases. Although the accuracy of this location is considered "passable" (note of 5/10), GPS coordinates and postal address confirm its location in the historic centre of Arras. Owned by the municipality, this monument is not explicitly mentioned as open to the visit, but its protected status makes it a key element of the local heritage.
