"Les Marronniers" and "Les Papillons".
These two houses with yellow brick facades were built in 1905. Their names evoke nature, a subject appreciated by the Art Nouveau movement. Above each entrance door and the windows on the second floor, sgraffito panels personalise each of the two houses: decorations of chestnut leaves and flowers at number 31, floral motifs and butterflies at number 33. Beautiful sinuous wrought iron anchors, a further reference to Art Nouveau, adorn the two façades. All the original windows have been preserved. At no. 31, the two large left-hand bays on the upper floors each give access to a balcony with a wrought iron railing. At no. 33, a bow window was added in 1914 in place of the first floor balcony. The stained glass windows depict butterflies. The overhanging cornices are supported by fine carved wooden brackets.
