Immeuble à appartements, rue Omer Lepreux 23

An Art Deco apartment building, built in 1931 for the Comptoir national des matériaux and possibly the work of the architect H. Vaes, designer of the very similar buildings at nos. 4 and 6 in the same street. Conceived as a ‘screen’ closing the vista from the park, it has five storeys under a flat roof, the top one an attic, faced in brick and set off with rendered elements. The ground floor is rusticated; on the upper floors, four bays are punctuated by pilasters, and on the first floor a continuous balcony with a parapet fronts the two central bays. The building has been recorded in the statutory inventory since 19 August 2024.
