Maison Henri Alexandre - architect Joseph Barsin

The Henri Alexandre House is an Art Nouveau style building built in 1907 by architect Joseph Barsin. Art Nouveau elements can be seen in several other buildings on this street, such as Victor Rogister's Maison Defeld at No. 19 and at No. 4, 14, 15, 16 and 17. On the nearby Boulevard de l'Est is the Maison Meyers and on Rue Saint-Éloi is the Maison Corombelle.

This building is representative of the floral trend of the Art Nouveau trend initiated in Brussels in 1893 by Victor Horta and is characterized by the famous 'flowing line', while most Art Nouveau style houses in Liège are rather related to the geometric Art Nouveau trend that Paul Hankar and Paul Jaspar applied.

The asymmetrical facade has two spans and four layers (three floors). The left span with the front door is the narrowest. The right span is slightly higher than the first floor to the top. Two materials are used: white glazed brick (Silesian brick) and blue stone for the sills, moldings and horizontal bands.
