Origin and history

The building at 9 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 and industrial transformation.

The location of this building, in the city centre of Toulouse, makes it a witness to the social and economic changes of the region in the 19th century. At that time, Toulouse, like other major French cities, experienced a demographic expansion and modernization of its urban fabric. The buildings of this period, often intended for a rising bourgeoisie, incorporate decorative elements and innovative materials, while meeting the new needs of comfort and social representation.

The 1974 Registration Order emphasizes the heritage value of its facades and roofs, which are a preserved example of Toulouse's civil architecture. Although the available sources do not specify the details of its construction or occupants, its ranking reflects its importance in the city's urban and historical landscape. The accuracy of its location, assessed as fair, and the addresses mentioned (place Wilson and rue Lafayette) indicate a central situation, probably linked to prestigious commercial or residential activities.
