Origin and history

The building located at 92 rue Saint-Martin, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument representative of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its construction is part of a period when Parisian architecture evolves towards more orderly facades and characteristic roofs, reflecting the classical influences of the era. The building is now recognized as a Historical Monument, a distinction that underscores its heritage importance in the Parisian urban landscape.

The protection of this building relates specifically to its facade and roof on street, inscribed by ministerial decree of 12 April 1974. This preservation measure aims to preserve the emblematic architectural elements of this period, while integrating the building into the historical fabric of the Marais, a neighborhood rich in heritage. The location, noted as "passible" (level 5/10) in the databases, indicates an approximation in geographical accuracy, without questioning its anchor in Parisian history.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the 4th arrondissement, and more broadly Paris, experienced an urban boom marked by the construction of private hotels and report buildings. These buildings, often intended for a rising bourgeoisie or for the aristocracy, become symbols of social and architectural prestige. Although the available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not specify the initial use of this building, its ranking attests to its historical and aesthetic value in this context.

No information is provided on any owners, architects or significant events related to this monument. The data are limited to its location, construction period and heritage protection. Rue Saint-Martin, the major artery of the Marais, concentrates many similar buildings, testifying to the gradual urbanization of Paris under the Ancien Régime.
