History

Villa built in 1902 by the architect Paul Martin for his own use. The building was constructed during the subdivision of the town hall quarter. It presents an ornate facade on the street, preceded by a small garden enclosed by a boundary fence. The main structure is built in polychrome bricks and limestone. The building comprises a raised ground floor, a principal floor, a roof space lit by three dormers. Inside, a spiral staircase suspended on a load-bearing string. The main facade is adorned with modillions and corbels supporting the balcony, decorated with flowers, foliage and a central mask. The pilasters of the avant-corps are in white bricks inlaid drawing lozenges. The lintel of the first-floor door-window is adorned with a head surrounded by sheaves and flowers between two wing ornaments. The modillions of the cornices are decorated with garlands of flowers and fruits. The tympanum of the first-floor door-window and the band separating the modillions are faced with green ceramic cladding with a "toothed wheel" motif. Inside, doors and moulded wainscoting as well as some fireplaces in varnished oak. The circular room known as the "music salon" is adorned with star parquet, a white marble fireplace surmounted by an overmantel with rocaille plasterwork. The windows and door-windows opening onto the rear terrace are fitted with stained glass with geometric motifs.
