Boulevard de la Sauvenière, No. 149

The house of architect Paul Jaspar was built in 1896. The décor is again clearly marked by references to historical styles, in particular the Renaissance: the triangular pediment, dormers, glazing with symmetrical patterns on the oriel window, etc. The facing combining red brick and calcareous stone is also a reference to the tradition of 17th century Mosan architecture, a frequent trait of the architect’s work, as we have already seen with the house of dentist Mr. Oury. The sgraffito decorated with an angel holding a plumb line at the top of a column is an allegory of architecture, also indicated in Greek lettering in the phylactery at his feet.
