In 1906, Rue Charles Legrelle emerged as a straight path, connecting Rue Père De Deken to Boulevard Saint-Michel. This Rue Charles Legrelle is named after a prominent Etterbeek alderman. Initially, Rue Charles Legrelle extended past Boulevard Saint-Michel. This extension is now known as Rue Père Eudore Devroye, renamed after World War I. The section of Rue Charles Legrelle between Rue Père De Deken and Avenue de l’Armée wasn’t completed until 1923. The street features a mix of houses and apartment buildings. The oldest structures are situated between Avenue de l’Armée and Boulevard Saint-Michel. Some early 20th-century buildings remain. Number 23, built in 1906, showcases a neoclassical style with a smooth facade and raised openings framed by flat borders. Other buildings, like numbers 16 (1921) and 25 (1908), exemplify the traditional eclectic style of the era. These brick facades, typically two or three levels high, often sit atop high cellars and have two uneven sections. Rue Charles Legrelle also boasts several 1920s constructions. Some display Art Deco influences, such as numbers 8 (1926) and 33 (1914-1922). Others, like numbers 34 (1921) and 54 (1922), exhibit Beaux-Arts features. At the corners of Avenue de l’Armée and Rue des Atrèbres, larger buildings, often with angled facades, stand prominently. These include number 17 (1925) with its smooth facade and rounded corner, number 22 (1911) with its commercial ground floor and ornately carved blue stone lintels, and number 37 (1920), formerly housing a commercial space on its ground floor. Today, Rue Charles Legrelle also includes several modern apartment buildings.
