Facade and roof: inscription by order of 25 February 1948

Origin and history

The 18th century house in Saint-Omer, in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is an example of civil architecture in the first half of the 18th century. This building, whose location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), is located on Rue Martel, in the heart of the city. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments attests to its heritage interest, although available sources do not specify its original use or its potential owners.

The protection of the house relates specifically to its facade and roof, officially registered by order of 25 February 1948. This type of monument reflects the architectural and urban characteristics of Saint-Omer in the modern era, a period marked by the development of cities in northern France under the Ancien Régime. The bourgeois or artisanal houses of that time often played a central role in local economic and social life, although the archives do not detail the particular history of this building.
