This beautiful building stands at the crossroads Rue de Hanovre and Rue Réaumur. Today it houses a bank and residential areas. The building is symbolic not only for its architecture but also for its location. Hanovre Street began its history during the French Revolution, and the street Rue Réaumur was built already during the Third Republic. Between them, almost 100 years of the history of the city from revolutionary innovation through the strict and imperial architecture of Hausman to the innovation of the early 20th century. The name of the street Hanover comes from the pavilion of Hanover, which Marshal Richelieu built on this site, at the expense of money from the capture of Hanover, during the war of 1756-1757. This is the time of greed and oppression of that absolute monarchy which the revolution will completely sweep away. The street Réaumur is named after a physicist and naturalist who lived also in the time of monarchy and invented one of the thermometers - this is the time of restoration of culture and science - the new post Napoleonic France wants to immortalize. But look at what a small and narrow street of Hanover and what a wide and bright street of Réaumur. Because between them lies the era of the great architect of Paris - prefect Hausmann. He well executed the order of his patron Napoleon the third. Emperor wanted the streets of the Paris to be wide enough to go through them magnificent military parades and they could not be blocked by barricades.
