In 1930s Lille, Rue du Chaufour saw a flourish of Art Deco architecture. Number 4, Rue du Chaufour, arose around 1931. This residential building, commissioned by Mademoiselle Théodore, stands as a testament to the era’s distinctive style. Just a few years later, in 1934, numbers 5-7, Rue du Chaufour, joined the streetscape. This larger residential building, reaching a height of approximately 16 meters, was commissioned by Monsieur Donze.
