In 1885, the fusion(merger) of Calais with Saint-Pierre-de-Calais pulls(entails) the construction of a new Town hall. Project confided(entrusted) to the architect Louis Debrouwer favours a concrete(watertight) structure. Works extend from 1911 till 1923\. The brick-built building red, of inspiration Flemish neo-revival, is dominated by a 72 metre belfry. The decorations(sets) of the rooms(parts,plays) of splendour, on the first floor, are of inspiration Art deco. The painted decorations(sets) are the expression of regional artists in a historiciste style. The staircase of honour is lighted(enlightened) by a glass roof representing the grip(taking) of Calais by the duke of Please.
