Comptoir de l'Industrie, Art Nouveau commercial building in central Reims, France.
The building features a late Art Nouveau facade with elongated fluted consoles supporting a prominent entablature, decorated with mosaics and organic motifs characteristic of the Nancy School style.
Constructed in 1922 by architects Émile Thion and Marcel Rousseau, the building was part of the city's reconstruction efforts following extensive damage during World War I bombardments in 1914.
The structure represents the transition between Art Nouveau and Art Deco in French commercial architecture, reflecting the post-war desire to blend artistic tradition with modern functionality in urban reconstruction.
The building stands on Rue Cérès in downtown Reims, within walking distance of the cathedral and Place d'Erlon, and currently serves as a Korian residence for elderly residents.
Originally built as a warehouse and sales depot for Laurent et Carrée, a metallurgical supplier founded in 1870, the building later served as a department store before its conversion to residential use.
