Origin and history

The building housing the SURENA bakery, located at 83 Victor-Hugo Street in Fort-de-France, is a historic monument inscribed for the quality of its interior decoration. This building illustrates the typical domestic and commercial architecture of the city, with elements preserved on three levels, including partitions, stairs and original decorations. Its registration by order of 26 February 2010 specifically protects interiors, excluding subsequent additions in the court.

The location of the building, right in the city centre of Fort-de-France, reflects the importance of local shops in the urbanisation of Martinique. The SURENA bakery, which is still in operation, shows the continuity of commercial usage in this type of building, where architecture serves both as a place of life and as an economic activity. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), suggesting a clear but perfectable identification.

The classification of the building is part of a process of preserving the built heritage of Martinique, often marked by mixed architectural influences. Protected elements, such as interior layouts and decors, provide an overview of the construction and development of commercial and residential spaces in Fort-de-France. No information is available on any owners or architects who have contributed to its design.
