Hôtel Titon, Paris

Jean-Charles Delafosse was an architect and a remarkable draftsman, who in 1786 published a significant book on what he called the new historical iconography. He built the Hôtel Titon in 1776 for Antoine-François Frémin, a lawyer in Parliament. In 1783 it was bought by Jean-Baptiste-Maximilien Titon, a councilor in Parliament.

The photo shows the Neo-classical façade of the Hôtel Titon at 58 rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière, Paris.
