An Art Deco apartment building designed in 1931 for the contractor Jules Van Oncem, recorded in the inventory. Its symmetrical elevation of five storeys and three bays pairs a blue-stone ground floor with upper floors mixing brick and rendered elements. Of crisp geometry, the façade uses multiple set-backs to establish its main lines. On the axis, the door with its massive rusticated surround gives rise to a slender giant pilaster separating the paired windows. Inside, the original Schlieren lift in an open shaft survives.
