Immeuble de bureaux Art déco, rue Jean-Baptiste Vanpé 50

On the corner of Rue de Liège, this Art Deco office building was built in 1934 for the CPAS (public social welfare centre), which still occupies it today. Its yellow-brick façade, with blue and white stone elements, has nine bays, including a corner bay on a curved plan. On the corner, the main wrought-iron entrance door opens beneath a recessed porch of curved section in blue stone, formed by engaged columns and a massive decorative entablature. An upper-floor balcony continues with a tubular metal railing and the door is flanked by tubular-bar handrails; a third storey was added in 2008. The building is recorded in the inventory of architectural heritage.
