Town hall of Paris 9th arrondissement, Town hall in the 9th arrondissement, Paris, France
The town hall of the 9th arrondissement stands on Rue Drouot and displays architectural features from mid-18th century French construction. The building contains spaces for various municipal functions and administrative services to the public.
Architect Charles Étienne Briseux designed and oversaw its construction between 1746 and 1748. The finished building received official protection as a listed monument in 1927.
The building keeps the name of its 18th-century owner: forged-iron balconies and door knobs still carry the initials "AA" of banker Alexandre Aguado, who bought it in 1829. A door between the town hall and the Passage Jouffroy survives from a planned link to the covered passage.
