Origin and history

The Houses located at 246-254 Martainville Street in Rouen are a historic monument whose protection is specific to the façade and the roof slope. These elements were recorded by ministerial decree on 28 April 1956, attesting to their heritage value in the urban landscape of Rouen. Their precise location, assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), places these buildings in an emblematic district of the city, close to the historical center.

The lack of architectural or historical details in the available sources does not allow for precise dates of construction or identification of their original use. However, their listing as Historic Monuments suggests that they represent a typical example of habitat or local commerce at a given time. Rouen, a city marked by its medieval and industrial past, has seen its urban fabric evolve over the centuries, with buildings like these bearing witness to the architectural and social transformations of the Norman city.

No information is provided on their accessibility to the public, their current use (housing, shops, etc.), or possible historical characters related to these places. The data are limited to their legal protection status and address, in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region. Their presence in the Mérimée base confirms their heritage interest, without specifying their role in local or regional history.
