Origin and history

The building located at 119 rue Saint-Martin in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a monument whose heritage value has been recognized by official protection. Its façade and roof, overlooking the street, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by ministerial decree of 12 April 1974. This preservation measure aims to preserve the architectural characteristics representative of Parisian urban planning, although stylistic details or the exact period of construction are not specified in the available sources.

The building is part of the landscape of the Marais, an emblematic district of Paris rich in heritage from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The buildings in this area, often constructed of cut stone, reflect the evolution of construction techniques and aesthetic tastes throughout the eras. Their preservation maintains the historical coherence of the neighbourhood, while offering a material testimony of past urban lifestyles.

The exact location, confirmed by GPS coordinates and Mérimée address, places this building at the heart of an area where the architectural and social history of Paris remains particularly palpable.
