The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Hôtel reconstruit de 1780 à 1787 sur les plans de l'entrepreneur Jean-Olry Laurent, repris en 1782 par François Mercier. En partie détruit par la Première Guerre mondiale, la reconstruction est confiée à Joseph Hornecker de 1922 à 1926. L'ordonnance originelle de la façade principale a été respectée. Larchitecte a décoré le fronton précédemment nu, et ajouté deux oeils-de-boeuf en éclairement des escaliers. L'ordre dorique distingue le vestibule qui s'agrémente de colonnes, pilastres et consoles à guirlandes. L'ordre ionique règne dans la salle des fêtes.

Hotel reconstructed from 1780 to 1787 on the plans of contractor Jean-Olry Laurent, taken over in 1782 by François Mercier. Partly destroyed by the First World War, reconstruction is entrusted to Joseph Hornecker from 1922 to 1926. The original arrangement of the main facade has been respected. The architect has decorated the previously bare pediment and added two oculi for lighting the staircases. Doric order distinguishes the vestibule which is enhanced with columns, pilasters and consoles with garlands. Ionic order reigns in the banqueting hall.
