Maisons Huot, Art Nouveau residential building in Nancy, France

The Maisons Huot are a pair of joined houses at 92 and 92bis Quai Claude-le-Lorrain, built in 1903 and differing in size and layout. The pale ashlar facade rises to a grey slate roof with three slender stone pinnacles and two chimneys; a white wooden balcony with slat balusters sits at the centre, windows are framed by carved stone arches, and a large ground-floor arch is edged with turquoise glazed tiles. The architect's name, E. Huot, is carved on the left wall.

The twin houses at 92 and 92bis Quai Claude-le-Lorrain were built in 1903 for Frédéric Huot, a rentier, to designs by Émile André. They mix École de Nancy style with neo-Gothic elements that give the pair a medieval look, alongside neo-Baroque details. The street facade and roof were listed as monuments historiques on 4 May 1994.

The houses were built for Frédéric Huot, a rentier, and their name comes from this first owner. The pair combines École de Nancy style with neo-Gothic and neo-Baroque elements, giving the ensemble a medieval effect. The two joined houses differ in size and design, which a visitor can see by comparing the facades from the quai.

These residences are privately owned and can only be viewed from outside. The best views of the facade are from the street, where all the details and ornamentation are fully visible.

The architect Émile André signed the facade: the faint carved inscription "E. HUOT" and "ARCHITECTE" on the left wall is easy to miss. The two houses are not identical twins: they differ in size and layout, and the street facade and roof were listed as monuments historiques on 4 May 1994.
