Jacques-Guillaume Legrand

[6] In 1783 Legrand and Molinos built a dome over the courtyard of the Corn Exchange (Halle aux blés, Paris), which Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières (1721–1789) had built in 1763 with a circular rotunda and open courtyard colonnade.

The dome was of pine planks sheathed in copper and lead and topped by a lantern of iron.

[3] The cloth market vault was supported on terracotta tubes, and the roof was covered with copper.

[8] Legrand and Molinos worked on developing the Paris markets, and also designed the Théâtre Feydeau in the rue de Richelieu.

[2] Legrand was charged with restoring the Église de Saint-Denis and the sepulcher of the kings, and moved to the site to supervise the work.

[7] Legrand began work on a huge General History of Architecture, but it was not completed or published.
