The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet édifice, construit en 1886, fait partie du réaménagement du boulevard de la République réalisé dans les années 1880, à l'initiative du maire Eugène Brisson. Il se présente comme un produit typique de l'architecture nouvelle qui a pris son essor au milieu du 19e siècle. La structure entièrement métallique (charpente de fer reposant sur des colonnes de fonte) et l'emploi du verre pour le cloisonnement des parois, laissent peu de place aux matériaux traditionnels qui subsistent dans les parties basses de l'édifice (brique, pierre).

This building, constructed in 1886, is part of the redevelopment of the boulevard de la République carried out in the 1880s, at the initiative of mayor Eugène Brisson. It presents itself as a typical product of the new architecture which took off in the mid-19th century. The entirely metal structure (iron framework resting on cast-iron columns) and the use of glass for the partitioning of the walls, leave little place for traditional materials which remain in the lower parts of the building (brick, stone).
