Origin and history

The building located at 15 rue Danielle-Casanova (formerly 83 rue des Petits-Champs) in the 1st arrondissement of Paris dates from the first quarter of the 18th century. This building, representative of the Parisian civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by decorative elements typical of the Louis XIV or Regence style, although the source text does not further specify its stylistic characteristics.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the building has been partially protected since February 12, 1925, specifically covering the entire balcony and carpentry door overlooking the street. This registration reflects the heritage value of these items, which are probably remarkable for their invoice or conservation status. No additional information is available on its history, occupants or architect.

The location of the building, in a central district of Paris, suggests an origin related to the aristocratic or bourgeois urbanization of the capital at the beginning of the eighteenth century. At that time, the Petits-Champs district (now part of the 1st arrondissement) was a popular place of residence, close to the Royal Palace and the royal institutions. The buildings of this period often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and elaborate architectural details.
