Façades and roofs of the building with its return rue Lapeyrouse (cad. AB 284) : inscription by order of 20 August 1974

Origin and history

The building located at 7 Place Wilson in Toulouse is an emblematic 19th century building, typical of the urban architecture of this period. Ranked a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree in 1974. These architectural elements reflect stylistic trends and popular construction techniques in Toulouse during this period of urban transformation.

The location of the building, near Wilson Square, makes it a witness to the evolution of the Toulouse city centre. The 19th century marked a period of modernization and expansion for Toulouse, with the development of new neighbourhoods and the renovation of public spaces. The buildings of that time, like this one, were often destined for a rising bourgeoisie, thus reflecting the socio-economic changes of the city.

The registration order of 20 August 1974 specifically concerns the facades and roofs of the building, as well as its return to Lapeyrouse Street. This protection highlights the heritage importance of these elements, which illustrate the architectural know-how and aesthetic quality of 19th-century Toulouse constructions. The mention of the cadastre (AB 284) makes it possible to accurately identify the property in the administrative archives.
