Origin and history

This house, located at 42 avenue Anatole-France in Roubaix, is a remarkable testimony of 20th century modernist architecture. Directed by architect Pierre Neveux, it is part of an innovative trend for its time, marking a break with traditional styles. Its sleek and functional design reflects the aesthetic and technical aspirations of the 1930s, when Neveux had already built a first house on the neighbouring plot, serving both housing and cabinet.

The house was classified as a Historic Monument by order of 10 July 2015, with integral protection including interior decors of the office and kitchen, as well as its exterior spaces (garden at the front and garden at the back). This recognition underlines its heritage importance, both for its architecture and for its interior design, characteristic of Neveux's work. The building thus embodies a page of the urban history of Roubaix, a city marked by its industrial past and its evolution towards modernity.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its exact address and architect, while specifying its current legal status. Although the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note of 5/10), its identification remains clear thanks to the GPS coordinates and the Insee code of the municipality (59512). No information is provided on its accessibility to the public or possible reuse (visits, rentals, etc.).
