Origin and history

The building at 21 bis Grande-Rue in Dieppe, Seine-Maritime, has been a monument listed as a Historic Monument since 1939. Its protection specifically concerns its brick facades and roofs, architectural elements characteristic of this period. Although its exact date of construction is not specified in available sources, its style and inscription suggest a recognized heritage value as early as the mid-20th century.

Dieppe, the port city of Normandy, experienced a marked urban development at the beginning of the twentieth century, with an architecture combining traditional and modern influences. The buildings of that time often reflect the local economic boom, linked to maritime and commercial activities. This type of building, with its brick façades, illustrates the adaptation of constructive techniques to the resources available in the region, while meeting the needs of a growing population.

The inscription for the Historical Monuments underlines its importance in the Dieppois urban landscape.
