Maison du Pigeon - De Duif, Baroque retail building in Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium.
The three-bay facade of Maison du Pigeon features arch-shaped openings bordered by grotesque masks and pilasters with Ionic capitals at different levels.
Built in 1697 after the French bombardment, the building belonged to the painters' corporation before being sold to stonecutter and architect Pierre Simon.
The building combines a Neuhaus chocolate store and a lace shop at street level, representing two traditional Belgian commercial activities.
The structure stands between La Chaloupe d'Or and Le Marchand d'Or houses at numbers 26-27 on the Grand Place in central Brussels.
French writer Victor Hugo wrote his pamphlet 'Napoleon le Petit' while living above the tobacco shop in this building during his 1852 exile.
