History
The project began in 1920 and payment of invoices extended until 1927. The building presents a basilical plan with a small raised porch. The interior is sober and majestic. Daures may have been inspired by the temple of the Brotteaux in Lyon, a work by Gaspard André. All the wooden furnishings are in place.
