Origin and history

The building at 5 Place Wilson in Toulouse is a building representative of 19th century civil architecture. Its facades and roofs, as well as its return to Rue Saint-Antoine-du-T and its rear façade at 1 rue Maurice-Fontvieille, were inscribed in the Historic Monuments by order of 20 August 1974. This classification reflects the heritage value of the building, typical of the Toulouse urban transformations of this period.

The location of the building, between Place Wilson and Rue Saint-Antoine-du-T, reflects the increasing urbanization of Toulouse in the 19th century. At that time, the city experienced economic and demographic growth, marked by the construction of residential and commercial buildings. Protected facades illustrate architectural styles in vogue, often mixing classicism and local influences.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the official address is 5 Place Wilson, although GPS coordinates suggest proximity to 28 rue Saint-Antoine-du-T. This geographical ambiguity, noted with a precise location considered "passable" (note 5/10), highlights the challenges of mapping historical monuments in dense urban areas. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
