The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Jacques Alleman a été chargé de la reconstruction du secteur sud-est de la Grand'Place après la destruction quasi-totale du centre ville lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans un style régionaliste original, en respectant l'espace de la place et du parcellaire ancien, il édifie un décor urbain théâtral et élabore un style néo-flamand pittoresque avec pignon sur rue très effilé. Chaque maison accueille un magasin au rez-de-chaussée et des logements aux étages.

Jacques Alleman was entrusted with the reconstruction of the south-east sector of the Grand'Place following the near-total destruction of the city centre during the First World War. In an original regionalist style, respecting the space of the square and the old plot divisions, he created a theatrical urban décor and developed a picturesque neo-Flemish style with a very slender gable on the street. Each building houses a shop on the ground floor and dwellings on the upper storeys.
