Photographs include 5 elevations of the building (PH1986:0900.14:001-PH1986:0900.14:004 are signed and dated by Michel Roux-Spitz), views of the building site, exterior views of the building, the courtyard, details of the windows and the doors. Interior views showing the staircases, living rooms with bookcases and furniture, fireplaces (one with ornamentation in bas-relief signed by A. Jamiot), several details of bas-relief ornamentations, 2 views of a dining room with a painted scene on walls and views of a hallway with a sculpture are included.
