Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building located at 24 Place Dauphine and 37 Quai de l'Horloge, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its classification specifically concerns facades and roofs, protected by a decree dated 20 September 1950. This building is part of the emblematic urban landscape of the capital, between Place Dauphine – one of the oldest squares in Paris – and the banks of the Seine, close to the Palais de Justice and the Île de la Cité.

The location of this building, at the precise address of the 24th Place Dauphine, reflects its anchoring in a historical district, marked by classical architecture and urban transformations of the 17th and 18th centuries. Although available sources do not detail its specific history or past occupants, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage interest. Dauphine Square, created under Henry IV at the beginning of the seventeenth century, was originally a residential place popular with the aristocracy and the Parisian bourgeoisie, a context in which this building probably played a representative role.
