Origin and history

The building located at 47 rue Émile-Raspail in Arcueil (Val-de-Marne) is an 18th-century civil building. Although its exact construction is not detailed, it represents an architectural heritage typical of this period, marked by decorative and functional elements such as private fountains, frequent in bourgeois or aristocratic properties of the period.

The particularity of this building lies in its 18th century fountain and porch, located in the garden. These elements were inscribed in the Historic Monuments by order of April 10, 1929, highlighting their heritage value. The location of the building, confirmed by the Merimée bases and the Insee code (94003), places it in a changing urban context, Arcueil being then a peripheral town of Paris in full development.

Available data, from sources such as Monumentum, indicate a location accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), without providing additional information on owners, architects or specific historical uses of the building. The lack of details about its openness to the public or its current vocation limits the understanding of its contemporary role.

At the time of its construction, the 18th century in Île-de-France was marked by the rise of secondary residences for the Parisian elite, often with gardens and aquatic elements such as fountains. These developments reflected both social status and a search for comfort, while meeting practical needs (water supply). Arcueil, close to the capital, benefited from this dynamic, attracting wealthy owners.
