Maison bourgeoise Art déco, rue de Laubespin 52

Art Deco town house with an asymmetrical composition, designed in 1926 by the architect A. Van Gompel for his own account, like the neighbouring house. The two-storey elevation under a mansard slope and flat roof is in red brick, set off with white stone and imitation stone, on a base of green Gileppe sandstone rubble. A small, slightly projecting entrance porch with grooved piers and a three-sided roof shelters a door with cut-off upper corners beneath an octagonal oculus; an oval oculus pierces the upper floor and a bow window enlivens the upper floor. The timber cornice rests on stepped geometric stone brackets, and most of the joinery with glazing bars survives; the house is recorded in the inventory of architectural heritage.
