The Town Council of Reims, following a project of June 9th, 1638, wished to open a street connecting the “Rue du Barbâtre” and the “Rue Gambetta”. This street, the “Rue du Lieutenant Herduin”, amputated the property of 1300 m² and shared it into two parts. |
It was necessary to reconstruct the building. The architect Georges Beaumet drew the plans which M. Roby,a building contractor, agreed to carry out. A knocked down U building was planned but it was amputated on its right side where a chapel and a theater were to be built The left – hand side was for classrooms. On September 25th 1926, the School could open. On October 5th 1926, it welcomed 140 pupils in two primary classes and two professional classes. |
