Au fond de la cour se cache un des plus beaux vestiges de l'âge d'or du quartier Poissonnière, un hôtel construit en 1782 par un élève de Boullée, Pérard de Montreuil, pour Charles-André de la Corée, intendant de la province de Bourgogne. Le propriétaire suivant, le comte de Botterel- Quintin, fit construire la somptueuse salle à manger ovale éclairée par une coupole vitrée, au décor de marbre et stuc. L'architecture pourrait être de Bélanger, le décor de sphinx, animaux divers, vases de fleurs et de fruits de son beau-frère Dugoure, et la bacchanale du plafond de Prud'hon. Hormis cette salle, l'hôtel conserve un escalier aux peintures de style pompéien.
