Origin and history

Lecreulx House is an iconic building located at 6 Lyautey Street, in the city of Nancy, in Meurthe-et-Moselle. This building, whose facade with cochère door and balcony, as well as roofs, have been listed as historical monuments since 1944, is closely linked to engineer François-Michel Lecreulx. The latter, known for his achievements as the church of Badonviller and the bridge of Frouard, has also contributed to the beautification of Nemandian neighborhoods.

François-Michel Lecreulx lived at two addresses in Nancy: first at 16 Place de la Carrière, then at 6 rue Lyautey, the very address of this building. A street in the city today bears its name, stressing its importance in local history. The inscription of the façade and roofs in 1944 marks the official recognition of the heritage value of this building.

The building is located in a neighbourhood that has benefited from Lecreulx's urban planning projects. Although the precise details of its construction are not mentioned, its inscription in the title of historical monuments shows its architectural and historical interest. The Lecreulx House remains an example of the heritage of the early 20th century, linked to engineering and architecture.
