The building at 2, place de l'Opéra in a 1873 caricature of SDCC chairman Armand Donon2, place de l'Opéra
The building at No. 2, on the corner of rue du Quatre-Septembre, was built between 1868 and 1873 on a design by architect Henri Blondel. It was initially the head office of the Société des Dépôts et Comptes Courants (SDCC), and following the latter's liquidation in 1892 became the principal Parisian branch of Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris (CNEP), itself recently recovered from a major restructuring.
Between 1940 and 1944, the building was the location of the Kommandantur [fr] or office of the military commander of the city of Paris. It is now used by the CNEP's successor bank BNP Paribas.
