Origin and history

The building at 23 Place Dauphine, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument whose architectural elements have been partially protected by ministerial decrees. The façade was inscribed by an order of 20 October 1928, marking a first recognition of its heritage value. This type of protection is often intended to preserve the stylistic or historical characteristics of a building representative of its time, without classifying the building in its entirety.

The roof of the building was separately registered by order of 20 September 1950. This double protection, spaced for more than two decades, suggests scalability in the perception of the heritage value of the building. The inscriptions in the title of historical monuments in France allow to safeguard specific elements while allowing contemporary adaptations, under the supervision of the competent authorities. The location of the building on Place Dauphine, an emblematic site of Paris created at the beginning of the seventeenth century, reinforces its anchor in a neighborhood full of history.

The available data do not specify the initial construction period of the building or its architect or any famous occupants. The lack of information on its original use or major transformations limits the understanding of its role in Parisian urban history. However, its partial protection bears witness to its architectural or historical interest, typical of the buildings in the centre of Paris, often linked to the development of the city under the Ancien Régime or to the Haussmannian transformations. Dauphine Square, with its triangular layout and original half-timbered houses, offers an exceptional setting that highlights this built heritage.
