Origin and history
The house at 22 rue du Docteur-Chapuis in Toul (Meurthe-et-Moselle) is a historic monument whose heritage value was recognized by a partial inscription in 1939. Only the facade and street cover were protected, reflecting a particular architectural or aesthetic interest in these elements. The building was destroyed in 1940, probably in the context of the Second World War bombings that affected the Lorraine region, both border and strategic.
The exact address mentioned in the Mérimée base (22 rue du Docteur-Chapuis) differs slightly from the approximate GPS location (1 rue Michatel), suggesting imprecise archiving or later urban modification. Location accuracy is assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), indicating uncertainties about its exact location today. No information is available on its original use, its owners, or its role in local life prior to its destruction.
The classification of 1939 takes place in a context of increased preservation of French heritage before the war, but the rapid destruction of the building one year later illustrates the cultural losses suffered during the conflict. No source mentions any restoration or remains retained, and its current status (open/closed to visit) remains unknown, as the database does not provide practical information after 1940.
