Origin and history

Bordez-Greber House, located in Mouy, Hauts-de-France, is a pavilion built in the early twentieth century between 1900 and 1910. This monument is distinguished by its hybrid architecture, combining the organic curves of Art Nouveau (bow-windows, round windows, floral decorations) with elements inspired by the seaside villas, such as the apparent wooden panels and an overflowing roof supported by consoles. The building is the result of close collaboration between the architect Fidélie Bordez and the ceramist Charles Gréber, whose creations were then highlighted in the catalogues of the Gréber manufacture.

The building was inscribed in the Historic Monuments by order of 31 May 1990, specifically protecting its facades, roofs, and an interior chimney located on the first floor. This official recognition underscores its stylistic originality and its importance in the history of the early 20th century French decorative architecture. The 1910 catalogue of the Gréber manufacture, cited in the sources, attests to the diffusion of this architectural model, although few similar examples remain today.

The precise address of the house, 7 Rue de la République in Mouy (Oise), is documented in the Mérimée base, although the GPS location is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10). The monument does not appear to be open to the public on a regular basis, and its current use (private residence, cultural or other) is not specified in the available sources. Its state of conservation and possible restorations are not detailed, but its listing under the Historical Monuments guarantees legal protection against major changes.
