Origin and history

The building at 4 rue Girardet in Nancy is a representative 18th century civil building, a period marked by an architectural renewal in the region. Its inscription as Historic Monument in 1950 underlines the heritage value of its facade and roof, characteristic elements of bourgeois constructions of the Lorraine era. The exact location, although documented (Insee code 54395 for Meurthe-et-Moselle), remains approximate according to available sources, with a map accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10).

The building is part of the urban context of Nancy, a city then growing under the influence of the Dukes of Lorraine and the Kingdom of France. The buildings of this period often reflect the ease of the local bourgeoisie, linked to commercial, craft or administrative activities. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the evolution of constructive techniques and decorative styles between late baroque and classicism. No information is available on any owners, architects or specific historical events related to this building.

The 1950 protection, limited to external elements (facade and roof), suggests a desire to preserve the architectural stamp without necessarily including interiors. The current data do not specify whether the building is open to the public, converted into accommodation or for private use. Its exact address, crossed between the Merimée base and GPS coordinates, however, confirms its anchoring in the historic centre of Nancy, close to other classified monuments.
