Origin and history

The building located at 5 rue des Deux-Boules, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument whose protection relates specifically to the facade (outside the ground floor) and the roof. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments dates from a decree of 12 April 1974, highlighting its heritage interest in a central district of the capital. No additional information on its history, occupants or architect is available from the sources consulted.

This type of building, typical of the Parisian urban fabric, often reflects the architectural and social evolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1st arrondissement, a historical and commercial district, the buildings of that period were frequently intended for mixed use (housing, commerce, crafts). Their preservation makes it possible today to preserve the memory of the transformations of Paris, between modernization and respect for the ancient heritage.

The partial protection of this building (facade and roof) illustrates a desire to safeguard elements representative of the local architectural identity.
