Origin and history

The building at 20 rue Cassette, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a representative building of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its facades on street, courtyard and garden, as well as its roofs, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 1 July 1964. This classification underscores the architectural value of the ensemble, typical of Parisian mansions and bourgeois buildings of that time.

The location of the building, in a central district of Paris, reflects Haussmannian and pre-Hhaussmannian urbanism, marked by a density of constructions and a search for architectural harmony. The facades, often decorated with classical details, and the interior courtyards, organized to optimize space and light, were key elements of the affluent residences of the era. The 1964 inscription demonstrates the desire to preserve this heritage in the face of the urban transformations of the twentieth century.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address (20 Cassette Street) is a building whose location accuracy is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on its current use, whether it is a public visit, a room rental or a private residence. Legal protections apply exclusively to exterior elements: facades and roofs, excluding interiors.
