Paul-Eugène Lequeux
Paul-Eugène Lequeux (born August 10, 1806 in Paris , † July 12, 1873 in Le Mont-Saint-Michel ) is a French architect .
Lequeux was a student of Auguste Guenepin and Louis Pierre Baltard . In 1834 he won the Prix de Rome . However, since he was already married at this point, he did not start the stay in Rome associated with the award. His brother-in-law Victor Baltard got him a job as an architect for the city of Paris, and later he also became an architect of Sceaux and Saint-Denis.
He built u. a. the sub-prefecture of Saint-Denis, the town halls of Montmartre, Puteaux and Saint-Ouen, as well as the churches of Villette and Villetaneuse and the Paris church of Notre-Dame-de-Clignancourt (1863). He also expanded the Paris church of Sainte-Marie des Batignolles by two aisles and restored the parish church of Notre-Dame-de-Pitié in Puteaux.
Lequeux taught at the École des Beaux-Arts , where Jules Bouchet was one of his students.
