Astonishing Streamline-style building all in yellow masonry with black underlinings, built in 1936, to the plans of architect Armand Lauwers, who skilfully used the corner position of the street to extend its facade.
The central bay, with its balconies, is reminiscent of ship's railings. Note the art-deco stained-glass window on the left bay which lights up the stairwell.
A real curiosity to discover!
