Facade and roofing on street (cad. BT 143): inscription by decree of 24 March 1975
Origin and history
The building at 31-33 Thursday Street in Alençon is a 18th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its facade on street and roof, inscribed as historical monuments since 24 March 1975. This building retains architectural elements typical of its time, including original carpentry on the first and second floors, as well as six identical balconies on the first floor.
The official protection of the building relates specifically to its façade and roof, as evidenced by the 1975 registration order. The balconies on the second floor, although present, are recent additions, unlike those on the first floor, which are original. The building is part of the architectural heritage of Alençon, a city in the Normandy region, and is one of the historical monuments listed in the Orne department.
Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight the importance of this building in the urban landscape of Alençon. Although information on its precise historical use is limited, its conservation reflects interest in the 18th century built heritage in this region. The exact address, 31-33 rue du thursday, is clearly identified in official databases, such as Mérimée, which lists historical monuments in France.
