Origin and history

The building is located at 70 rue de la Verrerie and 1 rue des Judges-Consuls, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dating from the 16th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of the Paris Renaissance, a period marked by artistic and urban renewal after the Middle Ages. Its inscription in the Inventory of Historic Monuments in 1974 specifically concerns its facade and roof, highlighting their heritage value and representativeness for this time.

The location of this building in the historic Marais district reflects the importance of this area since the 16th century. At that time, Paris was a major political, economic and cultural centre in Europe, and civil constructions like this often served as residences for the bourgeois, artisans or magistrates. The district of the Judge-Consuls, referred to in the address, recalls moreover the judicial and commercial role of this part of the city, where once sat officers responsible for regulating commercial activities.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this building enjoys protection that aims to preserve its authenticity. The reference to "passable" location accuracy (note 5/10) in available sources suggests that its exact location or detailed history may require further research. No information is provided on its current use, whether it is a public visit, rental or private residence.
