The façade of Albert's l'hôtel de ville
The Albert hôtel de ville was built in the "Flemish" style with art déco influences and was designed by architects Alexandre Miniac and Benjamin Maneval. The building was inaugurated in 1932. Pavot created a moulded cement frieze for the front of the building with 12 panels depicting workers in the fields, industrial scenes and scenes showing a young father going off to war and returning to his family at the end of the war. Albert had been in the thick of fighting throughout the 1914–1918 war. [3][4]
