The new slaughterhouses in Le Havre, designed by architect Léon David and built in 1893, were heavily damaged, over 50%, by the September 1944 bombings. Post-war decisions led to their reconstruction, initially planned for a site on Boulevard Sadi-Carnot to include a freezing plant for meat export through the port. However, this project was abandoned in favor of rebuilding on the original site, focusing on the needs of the local population. The new design aimed to enhance operational efficiency, streamline the slaughtering process, and ensure sanitary conditions.
