In the municipal bulletin, the house first appears as a landed property: in 1921, it is noted that the City owns in full the rue Raynouard address where Balzac's house and garden are located. In 1934, the acquisition of the wing occupied by Mr Drugeon comes before the Council, debated by several speakers, the Prefect of the Seine, and the Director of Fine Arts, without the outcome being recorded. The place then reappears through the budget: a grant of 7,500 francs to the Maison de Balzac in 1960, then, in a 1972 issue and under an equipment programme for 1967, the consideration of projects to restore the left wing and fit out the upper ground-floor rooms — intentions recorded in session, not works observed. These are a few scattered passages, spread over half a century: an established property, a wing whose acquisition is under discussion, then upkeep and grants.
