The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'ancienne imprimerie Lefèbvre et l'immeuble la surmontant ont semble-t-il été aménagés et édifiés dans un lot partiellement bâti par l'architecte Avard en 1902, sur le site d'une ancienne maison de compagnon datant du 16e ou du 17e siècle, avec le concours du sculpteur ébéniste J. Cardio et de l'entrepreneur Biziau. De ces aménagements du début du 20e siècle, il ne resterait que la devanture en bois sculpté de l'imprimerie et la façade du petit immeuble surmontant la vitrine sous fronton. L'aménagement du local de l'ancienne librairie Broult-Dividis, qui date sans doute de l'installation de la librairie à partir de 1907 (?) , est vraisemblablement due aux mêmes professionnels.

The former Lefèbvre printing works and the building above it seem to have been arranged and erected in a lot partially built by the architect Avard in 1902, on the site of an old companion's house dating from the 16th or 17th century, with the assistance of the sculptor-cabinetmaker J. Cardio and the builder Biziau. Of these arrangements from the early 20th century, only the sculpted wooden storefront of the printing works and the façade of the small building above the shop window under the pediment would remain. The arrangement of the premises of the former Broult-Dividis bookshop, which probably dates from the installation of the bookshop from 1907 (?), is probably due to the same professionals.
