Immeuble dit Le Building

The building known as "Le Building" was designed by architect André Boucton in 1926 for the Société anonyme de Crédit foncier de Franche-Comté, situated in a recently urbanized area of downtown Besançon. It features a mixed-use program, including a basement theater, offices on the ground and first floors, and residential units above. The structure stands out in the city with its seven levels, innovative use of reinforced concrete, and Art Deco style. Boucton effectively delineates the building's various functions, emphasizing a monumental entrance to the theater and a two-level office base that supports the upper floors.
