Origin and history

This building, located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. It occupies a site full of history, that of the ancient cemetery of the Innocents, one of the largest and oldest cemeteries in Paris, disused at the end of the eighteenth century. Although the source text does not specify the exact circumstances of its construction, its integration into the urban fabric reflects the transformations of Paris under the Ancien Régime, where funeral spaces gradually give way to houses and shops.

The façade and the roof on the Rue de la Ferronnerie were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 22 July 1980. This protection highlights 17th-century civil architecture, a period marked by the expansion of stone constructions and the standardization of facades in central Paris. The building is thus part of the capital's built heritage, reflecting urban developments and constructive practices of the time.

No information is available on the original owners, architects or notable occupants of the building. The sources mention only its precise address (6, 6bis, 8, 8bis rue de la Ferronnerie; 9, 11, 13 rue des Innocents) and its approximate location via GPS coordinates. The lack of details on its historical use (housing, commerce, institution) limits the understanding of its role in the neighborhood, once dominated by the cemetery and its related activities.
