Origin and history

The house located at 87 rue du Cherche-Midi, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a monument whose heritage value rests mainly on its facade. The latter was officially protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments in 1926, reflecting its architectural or historical interest for the period concerned. No additional information is available on its history, occupants or original use.

In the Parisian context of the 1920s, the facades of bourgeois buildings and houses were often preserved for their representativeness of the architectural styles of previous centuries. The 6th arrondissement, known for its Haussmannian and pre-Hhaussmannian heritage, concentrates many buildings protected for their role in the urban evolution of Paris. This type of classification was then intended to safeguard emblematic elements of the Parisian landscape, without necessarily documenting their detailed history.
