Pâtutrage People's Chamber and Stores

This art nouveau-influenced architectural complex opened in 1903, with the stores following in 1913. The buildings were designed by the architect, Eugène Bodson. The artist, Paul Cauchie, decorated the façade of the People's Chambers with graffiti (murals engraved in the mortar, whether coloured or not), all designed around a central theme of "the triumph of labour."
