Mayenne

Pays de la Loire

In order to found an archive for the entire department, the local councillors chose a plot of land once dedicated to the municipal cemetery. The project was finally entrusted to the architect Courau du Lot et Garonne, the first stone was laid in 1913 but it was not until the end of the First World War that the project could be completed. The building, a large rectangular building with 3 square floors, has a ground floor with a treaded mezzanine. The floors are unified in a classical spirit fond of balance by a colossal order running through the 3 levels dominated by Ionic capitals, an entablature with modillions and an attic balcony. However, behind the classical vocabulary, the edifice hides a new effort to adapt to function. To limit fires, metal frameworks are used here. In 1993, Heude and Perrault will respect this architecture in its extension: a teak cladding building will be added to the old building deeply remodeled inside.
