"La famille d'Argouges construit cette demeure après à la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle. L'hôtel d’Argouges-Gratot, au 60-62 de la même rue, appartenait à la même famille.

Jacques d’Argouges, panetier du roi, accueille François Ier et son fils, futur Henri II en 1532.

Maison à colombages rouges et blancs sur rue, en pierre sur cour, sa façade comporte des statuettes dorées de saints protecteurs.

Ses façades sur rue et sur cour sont inscrites au titre des monuments historiques par arrêté du 15 juin 1927.

Propriété de Jean Lecarpentier, ancien maire de Bayeux, les deux bâtiments de 700 m2 sont rachetés en 2007 par un groupe d'investisseurs, ASL, et restauré à partir de janvier 2011 par Jacky Bouzart et Marcel Huwart sous l'égide de l'architecte en chef des monuments historiques d'Orléans, Jacques Sill, pour en faire treize appartements.
