Lyon Presqu'Ile, Immeuble 79 rue Président Edouard Herriot

Observe the composition of the facade of 79 Rue Edouard Herriot. The entrance porch is part of an axial span which dominates the entire facade. A porch occupies an important role in the work of architects and is therefore often profusely decorated to announce the identity of the building. Note that the two neighbouring buildings are symmetrical on either side of number 79 and have beautiful caryatids.
