Origin and history

The building located at 1 rue Thérèse, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic 19th century building. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, marked by neat details such as its carpentry door on street and the interior decoration of its staircase. These elements, protected since 1925, illustrate the artisanal know-how and aesthetic taste of the era, where the facades and interiors of Parisian buildings often reflected the social prestige of their owners or tenants.

The protection of this building by an order of 12 February 1925 underlines its heritage importance. On that date, the inscription for the Historical Monuments specifically aimed at the carpentry door and the decoration of the staircase, two remarkable elements that bear witness to the attention paid to architectural details under the Second Empire and the Third Republic. These characteristics make it a representative example of the Parisian bourgeois habitat of the 19th century, a time when the French capital was undergoing a major urban transformation under the impetus of Baron Haussmann.

The location of the building, in the 1st arrondissement, places this building in the heart of a historic and central district of Paris. This area, marked by a high density of monuments and prestigious buildings, was already at the time a place of residence popular with economic and cultural elites. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, attests to its presence in an urban environment where architecture plays a key role in the identity of the neighbourhood.

Available information, from sources such as Monumentum, indicates that the building is not open for public visit, making it a heritage that can be observed mainly from outside. The accuracy of its location, assessed as fair (note of 5/10), suggests that additional verifications may be required to refine the geographic data. Despite this, its status as a Historic Monument and its protected elements make it a point of interest for lovers of Parisian history and architecture.

The photographic credit granted to Mbzt under the Creative Commons license allows us to consider visual documentation of the building, although the details of this license and the associated images are not directly accessible from the sources cited. However, this mention highlights the importance of preserving and disseminating heritage images, which complement textual and historical descriptions to provide a more comprehensive view of these buildings.

Finally, the absence of information about possible characters related to the construction or history of the building limits the knowledge of its human context. However, its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments and the protection of its architectural elements are sufficient to make it a valuable witness to the urban and social evolution of Paris in the 19th century, a pivotal period for the French capital.
