Reconstruction of the Hôtel de ville, 1872-1873.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83539152

These documents and letters were collected by Hérold and detail the proceedings of the 1873 competition to rebuild the Hôtel de ville after it was destroyed by fire during the Commune revolt of 1871. Included are 20 lists of jury members and competition entrants, and five published reports of meetings (1872-1873). Five letters (1873-1897, n.d.) from architect and restorer Viollet-le-Duc discuss the 1873 competition and his opinions on rebuilding the Hôtel de ville in its original Renaissance style. (He sat on the jury committee for the rebuilding.) One sheet with drawings of trees by Hérold is dated 1873.
