The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Appelé autrefois gymnase d'Allemagne et destiné à l'apprentissage du tir et de la gymnastique (au programme des écoles municipales) , l'édifice est construit en 1888, en utilisant des fermes métalliques provenant de l'annexe de la grande galerie des machines de l'Exposition universelle de 1878. L'architecte Ernest Moreau signe le projet. Les fermes, d'un type mis au point par l'ingénieur Henri de Dion, sont mises en place par l'entreprise Moisant-Laurent et Savey. L'établissement est agrandi de 1913 à 1914 par l'architecte Charles Gautier qui construit un ensemble de bâtiments enserrant la halle métallique, conservée, dominé par un campanile porte-fanion. Le bâtiment sur la rue Pierre-Girard, abritant une salle de réunion et un établissement de bains douches, est fermé en 1997.

Formerly called the gymnasium of Germany and intended for instruction in shooting and gymnastics (on the programme of municipal schools), the building is constructed in 1888, using metal trusses from the annex of the great machine gallery of the 1878 Universal Exposition. Architect Ernest Moreau signs the project. The trusses, of a type developed by engineer Henri de Dion, are installed by the Moisant-Laurent and Savey company. The establishment is enlarged from 1913 to 1914 by architect Charles Gautier who builds a complex of buildings surrounding the metal hall, preserved, dominated by a campanile bearing a banner. The building on rue Pierre-Girard, housing a meeting room and bathing establishment, is closed in 1997.
