Groupe scolaire Jules Ferry, Primary school building in central Clamart, France.
The groupe scolaire Jules Ferry is a corner building whose pink brick walls rest on a rough stone base and are banded with pale stone courses. Its corner is chamfered, and arched windows with pale stone surrounds and multi-pane glazing line the brick facades, with smaller rectangular windows on the flat-topped upper storey. A dark downpipe runs down the corner, and two round red no-entry signs stand at street level.
Built around 1932 by architects Roger Hummel and André Dubreuil, this educational facility represents the modernization of French public schooling during the interwar period of the early twentieth century.
Named after Jules Ferry, founder of free and secular republican education in France, this school complex symbolizes the French commitment to providing accessible education for all children.
The complex stands at the corner of a street in Clamart, its chamfered corner facing the junction where two round red no-entry signs are mounted on poles. The brick walls sit on a rough stone base, with a dark downpipe running down the corner. Visitors approach on foot from the surrounding streets; the school buildings themselves are not open to the public.
