Architect Antoine Pompe signed his first work here in 1910, an orthopedic clinic for Doctor Van Neck.

Designed in a style between declining Art Nouveau and nascent Art Deco, the architect demonstrated great creativity and modernity, already placing him in the interbellum Modernist era.

The building has undergone major transformations inside, the facade has undergone some modifications on the first floor’s windows, where the glass bricks have been replaced by conventional window frames.

Beautiful architect signature, sculpted sign of the institute and street number are to be mentioned
