Origin and history
The house at 12 rue Marceau in Narbonne was a 16th century building, listed as a Historic Monument. It was distinguished by a hollow-core staircase connecting the apartments to a gallery and a corbelled passage. The latter, supported by an angle tube, was secured by a wrought iron ramp. These architectural elements reflected the construction techniques and residential needs of the time.
The building was destroyed in 1996 to allow the construction of an HLM housing. Despite his disappearance, the archives and descriptions available, notably via Monumentum, testify to his heritage interest. The exact location, although documented (12 Marceau Street or 15 Sambre and Meuse Street), remains imprecise according to the sources, with cartographic accuracy deemed mediocre (note of 5/10).
The house belonged to the commune of Narbonne, in the Aude department, in the Occitanie region. Its architecture, typical of Renaissance urban houses, would illustrate the evolution of bourgeois or commercial dwellings in the south of France. No information is available on its occupants or its precise use prior to its destruction.
