History

At 231 rue Saint-Honoré was located a main building block with cellars, ground floor occupied by the passage of the carriage gate and four shops, five storeys squared surmounted by a sixth attic storey on the courtyard, but whose centre on the street forms a pediment, with roof spaces above, covered in tiles and slates; the courtyard is behind this building on the right, and, on the left, four storeys squared are raised on cellars and ground floor, and comprise a fifth attic storey, except for the part of it in the left wing. Another building block at the back is raised on cellars of a ground floor, of four storeys squared, of a fifth attic storey with roof spaces covered in tiles. This group of ordered buildings was constructed in the 18th century as rental properties by the Feuillants. It appears to be the work of Jacques-Denis Antoine, architect born in Paris (1733-1801).
