Immeuble Duthoo, Art Nouveau revenue house in Tours, France

The Immeuble Duthoo features six connected buildings with individual entrances and a central double porch leading to an interior courtyard with curved street facades.

Arthur Duthoo commissioned architect Jean-Frédéric Wielhorski to design this residential complex between 1907 and 1910 to house employees of his Grand Bazar department store.

The ceramic tiles by Gentil et Bourdet company in brown, green, and blue colors demonstrate the decorative preferences of early 20th century French architecture.

Each residence contains a basement storage area, laundry facilities, vestibule, kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedrooms spread across multiple floors.

The building combines Art Nouveau elements like stylized leaves and fruits with emerging Art Deco geometric patterns, marking a transitional period in architectural design.
