Standing at the entrance to site no. 2 of the former Henricot works, these Art Deco offices were built in 1926 under the direction of Paul Henricot and housed the entire administration of the works. The eleven-bay main façade, with two tall upper storeys, is entered through a glazed door with a geometric wrought-iron grille, set in a massive limestone surround with a pediment bearing the inscription 'U.E.H.' (Usines Émile Henricot). The patterned brickwork, stylised stone motifs and geometric ironwork express the style, and the interior retains many decorative features. Since the works went bankrupt in 1984, the building has been occupied by a school.
