Square de la Victoire

Group of six Art Deco apartment buildings designed in 1934 and 1935 by the architect Charles De Wys for the cooperative society Le Comptoir national des Matériaux. Laid out in a U around a private tree-lined square open to the street, it rises six storeys beneath a tall mansard roof housing two further levels. Facing the square, three façades of eight bays each have their six central bays projecting; the middle storeys are of brick, the first and top storeys rendered, and the windows sit beneath a continuous rendered lintel. Several of the buildings retain their original Jaspar or Otis lifts. The group is recorded in the inventory of architectural heritage.
