Origin and history

The building at 80 rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 18th century. It is listed as a Historic Monument, although its precise location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10). The building is distinguished by two protected elements: a pediment and a sundial, initially installed on a building on the rue du Marché-des-Blancs-Manteaux, then integrated into the east wall of this building. These elements were recorded by ministerial decree on 30 August 1956.

The official address of the building is the 80 rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, but GPS coordinates suggest a close location, at 103 of the same street. The building now belongs to an association, although its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. The associated photo is credited to Alessia Smaniotto under Creative Commons license, and the data comes mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum.

The 4th arrondissement of Paris, in the 18th century, was a dynamic area, marked by residential architecture and commercial activities. The buildings of this period often reflected the urban evolution of the capital, with adorned facades and decorative elements such as sundials, symbols of the artisanal know-how of the period. These buildings played a central role in everyday life, hosting both housing, workshops and public spaces.
