Origin and history

The building located at 123 rue Saint-Martin, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its protection specifically concerns the facade and roof on street, according to a decree dated 12 April 1974. This building illustrates the attention paid to the preservation of Parisian urban heritage, especially in a neighborhood full of history such as the Marais, where medieval, classical and more recent architectures mix.

The location of this building, although specified as "passable" (note of 5/10) in the available data, remains a point of interest for those passionate about urban history. Rue Saint-Martin, Paris' emblematic street, has undergone many transformations over the centuries, reflecting the social, economic and architectural evolutions of the capital. The buildings in this area, often built or renovated between the 19th and 20th centuries, testify to the adaptation of the building to the changing needs of Parisians, between housing, commerce and crafts.

The inscription of this building in 1974 is part of a period when the protection of the Parisian heritage is intensifying, especially in order to combat the destructions linked to the major urban projects of the Thirty Glories. This type of measure aims to preserve elements representative of the architectural identity of the city, while allowing their integration into a modern environment. No additional information is available on its specific history, occupants or architect.
