The entire house (Box BC 1043): registration by order of 27 January 2011
Origin and history
The house located at 22-24 rue Garnier-Pagès in Fort-de-France is a typical example of the early 20th century Martinic urban habitat. It retains all its original components, including a courtyard, outbuildings and a garden, reflecting the local lifestyle and architectural practices of this period. Its state of conservation makes it a rare testimony of this time, where city houses combined functionality and aesthetics adapted to tropical climate.
Ranked Historic Monument by order of 27 January 2011, this house enjoys total protection (cadastre BC 1043), stressing its heritage importance. The location of the house, in the city centre of Fort-de-France, reinforces its historical interest, as it is part of an urban fabric marked by the architectural and social evolution of Martinique in the 20th century. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its status and value as a representative built heritage.
The accuracy of its location is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), with an official address recorded in the Merimée database. Although details of its current use (visits, rentals) are not specified, its listing as Historic Monuments guarantees its preservation. This house thus embodies an architectural and cultural heritage, offering a concrete overview of the urban history of Fort-de-France and Martinique.
