The building at 17 Place Dauphine and 56 Quai des Orfèvres, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose facades and roofs were protected by a registration order in 1950. This building, although little documented in available sources, embodies the typical architecture of this central district of the capital, marked by its judicial and administrative history. The 1st arrondissement of Paris, where this building is located, is an emblematic area housing major institutions such as the Palais de Justice.

At the time of its construction (unspecified period), the buildings in this area were often used as housing for local magistrates, lawyers or artisans, reflecting a social mix unique to the city.
