Building, Quai Taille-Pierres, 22

This quite tall and imposing corner house is characterized by its gable facing the street. Reconstructed in 1924, the four-level façade imitates the traditional type of the 17th century. It is made of dressed stone (ground floor and first floor) and bricks covered in a red wash. The ground floor is open with three cross windows and a door frame communicating with that of the secondary façade on Chèrequefosse Street. The first floor, for its part, features four similar cross windows. The upper floors are a reinterpretation of the Tournai type (alternation of bricks and stone in the window frames) and are crowned by a stepped gable. The verticality of the building is balanced by the multiple cornices and strings emphasizing the horizontality of the work.
Classified as a monument on April 21, 1982
