Housing development built in reinforced concrete faced with brick from 1926 to 1930 at the initiative of Abbé Alfred Keller, by the architects F. Besnard and D. Boulenger. Intended for the victims of the Great War, the development includes a chapel on the ground floor of an apartment building whose decoration was entrusted to Georges Desvallières (paintings and stained-glass windows: a dead soldier borne away by Christ, the Holy Women at the tomb, Nativity, ...), one of the founders in 1919 of the Workshops of Sacred Art.
