Origin and history

The building at 19 rue Montorgueil, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 18th century. This building, representative of the Parisian civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by its facade, the only part protected by the Historical Monuments. Its registration by order of 20 October 1928 bears witness to its heritage interest, although the available sources do not specify the exact reasons for this protection or any subsequent modifications.

The location of this building, in a historical and commercial district of Paris, suggests an initial residential or mixed use, typical of the bourgeois buildings of the eighteenth century. At that time, the 1st arrondissement, the heart of the capital, concentrated an affluent population as well as artisanal and commercial activities. The facades of buildings, often neat, reflected the social status of their owners, while integrating into a dense and organized urban fabric.

Current data, notably from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, indicate poor localization accuracy (note 5/10), without further details on its history or occupants. No information is available on its accessibility to the public, any tourist vocation or related services (visits, rentals).
