The house

This house was built in the 1930’s on a large plot of land, surrounded by high stone walls, on the edge of Perreux Park.

It has a tall east-west facing pavilion, flanked by an impressive wing set slightly back at right angles, under a gable roof. The facades feature tall openings, fitted with railings and surrounded by concrete lintels as well as jambs and closed by folding metal shutters. Said facades are rendered and painted in pastel hues.
