Origin and history

The building located at 1 rue d'Argentré in Nantes, whose facade overlooks the Cours Saint-André, is a building built in 1884 according to the plans of the architect Aubry. Although its initial period of construction was associated with the 18th century in some sources, the precise documents indicate a realization in 1884. This building stands out for its ground floor and its granite and limestone entresol, topped by two noble limestone floors. The attic is adorned with curved skylights with ailerons, and the roof is covered with slate. These architectural elements reflect a neat style, typical of the bourgeois buildings of the late nineteenth century in Nantes.

The building was listed as historic monuments by order of 19 March 1954, thereby recognizing its heritage value. The protection specifically concerns the street façade and the corresponding roof. This classification reflects the importance attached to the preservation of the architectural heritage of Nantes, particularly for buildings representing urban evolution and architectural styles of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The location of the building, between Rue d'Argentré and Cours Saint-André, places this monument in a central area of Nantes, marked by a rich urban history. The building illustrates the architectural transformations of the city, combining classical influences and adaptations related to the residential and aesthetic needs of the modern era.
