History

The hotel was built around 1762 for Jacques Alexandre Gauthier de Vinfrais,[1][2] hunting inspector of the Varenne du Louvre bailiwick and commander of the Gendarmerie brigade at Villejuif.[2] Vinfrais sold out the hotel in 1797.[2]

His son-in-law, the deputy Thomas de Treil de Pardailhan, resided there from 1782 to 1795.

In 1834, the hôtel particulier was split into three separate buildings.[3] The facade was altered around 1834.

In the early 19th century, the Villejuif city council decided to locate its municipal garage there, later replaced by the municipal technical center.[2]

The facades, the roof, the coachway and the central staircase of the building were listed as a Historic Monument on September 17th, 1996.[3]
