Description

The Hoguet House is a unique witness of the Ready made clothes industry which was very important in Saint Gilles from the beginning of the 19th century till its crash in 1980.
In 1929, Mr. Hoguet gave the order to build this workshop/house. The company was already very famous then. They owned a shop in the Waterloosesteenweg and sub-offices in the centre of Grussels, Sint-Joost and Schaarbeek. Hoguet appealed to the architect G. Ligo from Vorst. He probably designed the interior too.
The family Hoguet donated the house to the community with the explicit wish to give it a cultural destination. The house was protected in 1998, and today the "Centre of the Book" is established here.
