The building dates from 1700. The Mills House, also called White Flower, hosted the painter Toulouse-Lautrec, he occupied a room in the year, he had set up his studio and there has made many of his canvases on which you can see the decor places (the salon of the rue des Moulins, These ladies refectory, The sofa, etc). He has decorated with a fresco the toilet 2nd floor. The place was known for its Gothic-inspired room, it would be practiced black masses. The Païva’s bed, a famous courtesan of the nineteenth century adorned one of the rooms. It was a famous luxury hotel for its torture chamber. He was also requisitioned for the German general staff. Its contents were auctioned in 1946 but the collective unconscious has probably preserved traces of its existence because the price per square meter is much higher in this building than in neighboring buildings.
