Origin and history

The house located at 258-262 rue Martainville and rue Damiette in Rouen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its facades on both streets and the corresponding roof slopes were protected by decree of 30 April 1956. This classification reflects its architectural or historical interest, although the precise details of its origin or initial use are not mentioned in the available sources.

Rouen, the emblematic city of Normandy, underwent partial reconstruction after World War II, during which time many buildings were restored or preserved for their heritage value. Urban houses like this often reflect the evolution of architectural styles and local lifestyles. Their protection aims to preserve the memory of historic neighbourhoods, while integrating these buildings into the contemporary urban fabric.

The precise location, between Martainville Street and Damiette Street, suggests an implantation in an area with a dense history, marked by commercial or craft activities typical of the city.
