Logements sociaux du Foyer laekenois, rue Jean Heymans 1-3

On the corner of Square Prince Léopold, an Art Deco social housing block designed in 1935 by the architect Louis Cardon for the Foyer laekenois, originally with a shop on the corner. The four-storey, flat-roofed façade, in yellow brick with emphasised horizontal joints trimmed with bluestone, is enlivened by trapezoidal and triangular oriels beneath a continuous entablature with a curved corner and a beige ceramic architrave. The trapezoidal entrance porch, with engaged columns fluted in black ceramic, retains its wrought-iron door. The building is not protected; it is recorded in the inventory of architectural heritage.
