Grande Maison de Blanc, Art Nouveau commercial building in Pentagon, Belgium

The Grande Maison de Blanc building stretches across fourteen bays with four levels, displaying polychrome ceramic panels on its symmetrical facade.

Architect Oscar François constructed this building between 1896 and 1897 for Mr. Lefebvre, who acquired the store in 1870.

The ceramic panels from Boch workshops depict female figures representing Industry and Commerce, along with decorative floral patterns.

The building stands at 32-34 Rue du Marché aux Poulets in central Brussels, near the Stock Exchange district.

Between 1960 and 2000, this former household linen store transformed into various establishments, including a supermarket, hotel, and snooker hall.
