The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison a été construite entre 1903 et 1910 par l'entrepreneur C. Ringot. La façade en ciment simili-pierre est l'oeuvre du sculpteur Maurice Ringot ; l'ensemble ornemental dans un style Art Nouveau illustre les thèmes du Jour et de la Nuit autour de deux visages féminins, l'un éveillé et l'autre endormi, et un coq et une chouette. Le clocheton central a disparu pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et le couronnement de l'oriel a été enlevé après 1970.

This house was built between 1903 and 1910 by contractor C. Ringot. The cement imitation-stone facade is the work of sculptor Maurice Ringot; the whole ornamental ensemble in Art Nouveau style illustrates the themes of Day and Night around two feminine faces, one awake and the other asleep, and a rooster and an owl. The central turret disappeared during the Second World War and the crowning of the oriel was removed after 1970.
