Origin and history

The building located 66 rue de la Apple in Toulouse, built in the 2nd quarter of the 20th century, is an exceptional testimony of 1930s Art Deco architecture. Built in 1933 by the architect Bernard Darroquy, it is distinguished by its adaptation to the terrain through to the road, as well as by the use of the brick, an emblematic material of Toulouse, reinterpreted in a modern language. Its facades, roofs, and interior elements (hall, stairwell, elevator) reflect a functional and elegant aesthetic, typical of the interwar period.

Ranked Historic Monument in 2006, the building protects remarkable elements such as the rotating garage platform, the ironwork of the stairs, or the original signage. These details illustrate the technical innovation and attention to detail that characterized the civil architecture of this period. The building thus embodies a transition between local tradition (the Toulouse brick) and modernity, marking the urban landscape of Toulouse.

The location of the building, although documented (approximate addresses and Insee code 31555), remains unclear according to available sources, with a 5/10 note for the reliability of the coordinates. This geographical uncertainty contrasts with the richness of architectural descriptions, stressing the importance of preserving this fragile and unknown heritage of the general public.
