Origin and history

The building at 17 rue Benjamin-Franklin, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument whose data are still limited. No specific construction period or historical event is mentioned in the internal sources consulted. However, its status as a monument suggests a recognized heritage value, although the exact criteria for this classification are not detailed.

In the Parisian context of the 16th arrondissement, the buildings of this period (unspecified here) often reflect the Haussmannian or post-haussmannian urbanization, marked by bourgeois architecture and aligned plans. These buildings were generally used as residences for affluent classes, incorporating neat decorative elements and interior distributions adapted to the lifestyles of the 19th or early 20th century. Their preservation today contributes to the collective memory of Parisian architectural evolution.
