Origin and history
The building at 11 rue Jacob, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second quarter of the 17th century. This building illustrates the bourgeois domestic architecture of the period, marked by neat decorative elements such as stone and wooden balusters. Its "French" staircase, typical of private hotels and wealthy houses in Paris under the Ancien Régime, has been specifically protected by the Historic Monuments for its heritage value.
The protection of the staircase by decree of 30 March 1962 underlines its historical and aesthetic importance. This type of staircase, often placed at the heart of the dwellings, reflected the social status of the owners and served as a showcase for local artisans. The rue Jacob, located in a central district of Paris, then concentrated an affluent population, mixing nobility of dress, bourgeois and artisans specialized in luxury.
Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum confirm the exact address and GPS location, although map accuracy is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on the current use of the building (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historic owners or occupants.
