The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Léon Lamaizière conçoit l'immeuble en 1894. Le magasin s'agrandit en 1898. C'est l'un des premiers magasins à proposer un système de vente par rayons spécialisés gérés par un chef de rayon. La façade se compose de deux avant-corps et de deux arrières façades. Motifs décoratifs sculptés (guirlandes, chapiteaux, baies). Un incendie a détruit le dôme et l'horloge de la tourelle d'angle. A l'intérieur, l'armature se compose de colonnes en fonte et d'une charpente de type Eiffel.

Léon Lamaizière designed the building in 1894. The shop expanded in 1898. It was one of the first shops to offer a sales system by specialized departments managed by a department head. The façade is composed of two avant-corps and two rear façades. Sculptured decorative motifs (garlands, capitals, openings). A fire destroyed the dome and clock of the corner turret. Inside, the framework consists of cast iron columns and an Eiffel-type roof structure.
