Origin and history

The building located at 15 Place Dauphine and 52-54 Quai des Orfèvres, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose facades and roofs have been the subject of successive protections. The facades were registered by decree of 18 February 1925, while the roofs were later registered on 20 September 1950. These measures reflect the heritage value of this building in the Parisian urban landscape.

The location of the building, at the junction of the Place Dauphine and the Quai des Orfèvres, makes it a witness to the architectural and social history of this emblematic district of Paris. Dauphine Square, created in the early seventeenth century under Henry IV, is a place full of history, lined with private hotels and buildings with characteristic facades. Although the details of the initial construction of this building are not specified in the sources, its listing as historical monuments underlines its importance in the built heritage of the capital.

Partial protections (facades and roofs) indicate a desire to preserve the most representative elements of the building, without classifying the entire structure. This suggests that the building, while of historical interest, has undergone modifications or adaptations over the centuries. Its exact address, referenced in the Mérimée base, confirms its anchoring in the 1st arrondissement, an area marked by a high concentration of monuments and prestigious institutions.

No information is available on the current use of the building, whether it be an opening to the public, a room rental or another function. Sources are limited to administrative data and legal protections, without mentioning its detailed history, past occupants or its precise role in local history. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in the records.
