The latter charming 18th century house stood at the corner of the Rue des Fripiers. It was built (1774—1776) from the plans of Thomas Gombert of Lille, and its last proprietors had converted it into an interesting museum.
It was decorated with woodwork, panelling, and Louis XVI. medallions by Ant. Jos. de la Dicque. The stucco ornamentation was the work of Grégoire Joseph Adam of Valenciennes. The staircase balustrading was by Jacques Beernaert.
