Maison Chouvette

Apartment building designed in 1919 by Joseph André on the corner of rue de la Montagne and boulevard Audent in Charleroi, for the mayor Émile Devreux. In the Beaux-Arts style, it has a facade of imitation stone that rises, above the original commercial ground floor, through three generously lit storeys picked out with balustrades and wrought balconies. The corner bay forms a rotunda under a dome, beneath a slate mansard roof. It is an early-career work, well before the architect's Art Deco phase.
