Roger Gonthier

At the start of the 20th century, Limoges was expanding, and there was a revival in the construction of new public buildings.

Gonthier designed the Gare de Limoges-Bénédictins (railway station) in 1917.

One of the last great monumental train stations in France,[1] it was built between 1927 and 1929.

[2] The station remains a landmark building within the city, and has been listed since 1975.

Gonthier also designed the Pavillon du Verdurier,[3] the municipal slaughterhouse, the Cité-jardin de Beaublanc, and the Cité des Coutures.
