The arabesque wrought-iron railings and the floral mosaic in the pavement are typical of Blerot. As are the houses of Rue Vilain XIV, one of these two houses is topped with a gable.
Blerot’s working method made his houses accessible to the middle class (by way of controlling cost) and made the architect even more admired.
He generally designed a different façade for each house and each element of the interior was personalized. As a businessman, he kept some of the houses he built under his ownership and transformed a few houses into apartments in order to lease them.
