Hôtel de Brunoy, Private mansion in Quartier de la Madeleine, France.
The neoclassical mansion features symmetrical design elements, stone-cut portal frames, and grand proportions at 45 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in Paris.
Built between 1775 and 1779 for Marquise de Brunoy by architect Étienne-Louis Boullée, the mansion remained until its demolition in 1930.
The mansion's interior included a grand salon decorated with Ionic pilasters and artistic elements created by painter François-André Vincent.
The building's location near the Champs-Élysées provided direct views through cleverly designed underground pathways connecting the garden spaces.
During World War I, the former private residence transformed into a military hospital before falling into disrepair until its final demolition.
