César Pain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

César Pain (* 1872 in Nancy , † 1946 ) was a French Art Nouveau - architect . Seventeen of his houses have been preserved in Nancy on Rue Felix Faure. Pain, the son of a surveyor from Nancy, had become wealthy as a manager of a cotton factory in Moscow and had bought these plots in order to cultivate them and sell them on. With their characteristic wooden gables, they form an architectural ensemble of rare uniformity to this day.
