The majesty of the Grand Concourse

Among Lancaster County’s limited stock of Deco buildings, this one stands out.

I moved to a new city. Nice to see they also have some art deco here! The first photo is a shot I took while riding a car. Couldn't stop. So I was only able to take a picture of the back of the building. The others are from the web. Beautiful stuff!

At the Porte de la Muette, on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, stands a prestigious and fascinating residential complex. Three distinct buildings, developed on the garden-city model, occupy an entire block in the 16th arrondissement. Designed by architect Jean Walter between 1929 and 1931, they are considered a fine expression of the Art Deco movement, luxurious, elegant, and distinctly Parisian.

These residences, intended for an elite clientele, were conceived around luxury, with amenities that were advanced for the time like a huge underground garage, central heating plant, rubbish chutes, highspeed elevators, service lifts, and more...

The geometric lines of the Walter buildings define a monumental sense of order. The most prestigious apartments feature elegant private garden terraces. The interiors are distinguished by their exceptional volumes, a marker of their standing, starting at 450 m², with ceiling heights of 4 to 6 metres, and a refined use of noble materials with an impressive attention to detail.

The complex was listed as a historic monument in 2006, and remains one of the most prestigious residential addresses in the capital. Many notable figures have lived here, among them fashion designer Pierre Balmain, businessman Serge Dassault, footballer Samuel Eto'o, and perfumer Pierre Guerlain.

This expedition was like going back in time. Let alone, that I was the only one in this expansive lobby (that is, until security showed up. Oh well)
