Origin and history

The building at 90 rue Saint-Martin, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 18th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by a sober and elegant style, typical of the mansions and bourgeois buildings of the Ancien Régime. Its location in the historical district of the Marais, then in full urban transformation, reflects the expansion of the city under Louis XV and Louis XVI.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 12 April 1974, the building is protected for its facade and roof on street. This inscription bears witness to the heritage value of its architecture, representative of the 18th century Parisian residential buildings. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of building often housed dwellings for the aristocracy or the rising bourgeoisie, as well as artisanal or commercial activities on the ground floor.

The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location in heritage databases. However, the GPS coordinates available confirm its address at 90 rue Saint-Martin, a major axis of the Marais. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental) or detailed conservation status.

Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée database) are limited to administrative and architectural data, not to mention historical anecdotes, sponsors or significant events related to the building. Its code Insee (75104) attaches it to the commune of Paris, in the Île-de-France region, confirming its anchoring in the Franciscan heritage.
