The Hotel of Posts(Post offices) transformed into media library is high of about 55m on 33m of length. The armed concrete(watertight) building(ship), in the steel structure is compound(made up) of a belfry with clock with cantilevers and an imposing rotunda dominating the place(square) of the Scattered. This eclectic building draws inspiration from medieval constructions put back(handed) to honour by Viollet-le-Duc and mixes(involves) neogothic elements and Art deco. The reference to the cathedral is undeniable: numerous details call back(remind) the Gothic style such as it is possible to see it in the north bell tower of the cathedral.
At the level of the decoration of facade, a succession of mosaics evokes the history(story) of a letter transported by land, of iron, from sea and of air and puts away by a factor(mailman) to a beauceronne farmer. Since the flight of steps and under the mosaic representing peace, the general de Gaulle addressed the population in August, 1944 at the liberation of Chartres. The Hotel of posts(post offices) is registered in conformance with(for) historic monuments since August 19th, 1994; his(her,its) railings(bars) in which are inserted the initials FRENCH POSTAL AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE (Post offices Telegraphs and Telephones) are listed(classified) as well as facades and roofing. The building is labelled " remarkable contemporary Architecture ".
