Origin and history

The Perry store, located in the heart of Toulouse between Place Esquirol and Place de la Trinité, is an architectural testimony of the 2nd half of the 20th century. This building, including all the facades, roofs, the main stairway and the tea salon, is an example of the development of urban commerce in the region after 1945. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by order of 3 October 2019 underlines its heritage importance, particularly for its architecture and its role in Toulouse life.

The location of the Perry store, at 3 Place Esquirol and 3 Place de la Trinité, makes it a central point in Toulouse's commercial landscape. The protected elements, such as the tea salon, reflect a time when the department stores became places of sociability and consumption, thus marking the economic and social history of the city. The accuracy of its location, although considered "passable" (note 5/10), makes it possible to identify its anchor in the neighborhood.

The registration of the Perry store as the Historic Monuments in 2019 specifically covers facades, roofs, the main staircase and the tea room, as delimited on the plans annexed to the decree. This ranking highlights architectural and functional elements representative of the department stores of this period, while preserving a heritage linked to the urbanization and modernization of Toulouse in the 20th century. No information is available on its current accessibility or contemporary uses.
