Beautiful classical style facade with Art Nouveau elements.
The window on the upper floor sets the tone, with its basket-handle opening, divided into three parts separated by cast iron columns which support the second floor balcony.
All other openings are rectangular in shape.
What characterizes this house are the alternating white and colored glazed bricks, as well as the beautiful masonry work on the two side pilasters which frame the facade and extend beyond the cornice.
But also and above all, the ceramic panels which adorn the facade illustrated with flowers and cherubs. These are the work of the then famous Maison Helman in Brussels.
The house is in very good condition, and is on the list of assets to be protected.
