The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ecole municipale de tissage construite sur les pentes de la colline de la Croix-Rousse par l'architecte Tony Garnier de 1930 à 1933, suivant des plans définitifs datant de 1927 et divers avant-projets de 1905 et 1921. Derrière le bâtiment des salles de cours, l'école est traitée comme un bâtiment industriel, les ateliers couverts de toitures en sheds (sert aujourd'hui de lycée d'enseignement technique). La villa du directeur de l'école, d'un style plus moderne, est attribuée à un collaborateur de Tony Garnier, l'architecte Jean Faure. Edifice représentatif des préoccupations économiques et sociales du début 20e siècle.

Behind the building of teaching rooms, the school is treated as an industrial building, the workshops covered with shed roofs (serves today as a technical education lycée). The villa of the school director, of a more modern style, is attributed to a collaborator of Tony Garnier, the architect Jean Faure. Building representative of the economic and social concerns of the early 20th century.
