The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Villa construite après 1894 par l'architecte Jules Dupont. La villa, en front de mer, fait partie de la dernière vague de construction de la station balnéaire. L'édifice a été conservé quasiment intact, extérieurement et intérieurement, et témoigne des constructions de cette époque, maisons de vacances pour la classe bourgeoise. Les architectes manifestaient un souci d'originalité architecturale, avec des styles comme le néo-gothique, l'anglo-normand, le style "chalet", flamand, Napoléon III ou Art Nouveau. La recherche décorative est très présente (frises, faïence émaillée, cabochons...). Le matériau le plus utilisé est la brique, servant également au décor en façade. La préoccupation fonctionnelle est essentielle. La façade de cette villa est marquée par un bow-window qui l'occupe entièrement.

Villa built after 1894 by architect Jules Dupont. The villa, facing the sea, is part of the last wave of construction of the seaside resort. The building was preserved almost intact, externally and internally, and testifies to the constructions of this period, holiday homes for the bourgeois class. The architects manifested a concern for architectural originality, with styles such as neo-gothic, Anglo-Norman, "chalet" style, Flemish, Napoleon III or Art Nouveau. Decorative research is very present (friezes, enamelled earthenware, cabochons...). The most used material is brick, also serving as decoration on the facade. Functional concern is essential. The facade of this villa is marked by a bow-window which occupies it entirely.
