Description:
Album showing exterior and interior views of the "Château de Madrid" in Bois de Boulogne (boulevard Richard Wallace, Neuilly-sur-Seine), France. This Château was built in 1912 (a drawing of the building in the album bears the date 1910) in the Renaissance style where used to stand the "Château de Boulogne", afterwards named the "Château de Madrid", built by François 1er between 1528 and 1568. The name evokes the short captivity of the King in Spain. The castle was sold in 1792 and demantled to recuperate the materials. The building showed in the album is also named "Château de Madrid" as seen on a post-sign in one of the photographs. This building is also visible on some old postcards (cf. documentation). Also visible on another post-sign, is the street name 'Avenue Richard Wallace'. Corbel writes (p. 57), that in 1851, the 'Madrid Restaurant' was located at the end of Saint-James, in a secluded area of the Bois de Boulogne. On page 58, he states that in 1870, the restaurant became one of the general quarters for the defense of Paris and that in 1912, it was reconstructed, probably referring to the same building. Also, in 1922, a special dinner was given in honour of the emperor Khaï-Dinh. Further research may provide more information on this specific building which seems to have since disappeared. Other views in this album, show the Café Meyer, the Café Restaurant Cardinal in Paris (one of the oldest of Paris) and other views of buildings and interiors of Paris.

Description:
- This album contains drawings which range from design development drawings to highly finished renderings - mostly plans, elevations and sections - for Hubert Rohault de Fleury's proposed alterations to the Préfecture de police and for additions to a nearby prison, Paris, and prints and record drawings of French and English prisons and courthouses. Although the table of contents indicates that drawings four to twelve are for diverse projects (DR1974:0002:015:004 - DR1974:0002:015:015), they are apparently all related to Rohault de Fleury's proposals for alterations to the Préfecture de police (1833 ?) and for the enlargement of the nearby prison (1819). The proposals for the Préfecture de police included the rearrangement of the layout of the buildings and courtyards, and possibly the replacement of some buildings. Included with these drawings is an engraving by Jean-Jacques Leroy after plans by Antoine Marie Peyre for alterations to the Palais de justice, Paris (1822-1828), with a block plan for the adjacent Préfecture de police(DR1974:0002:015:001). Rohault de Fleury's project for the enlargement of the prison near the Préfecture de police includes cost estimates and specifications (DR1974:0002:015:016), and plans for lodgings for Mr. Vachette "l'état-major" (DR1974:0002:015:032). The record drawings and prints of prisons in France include: La Petite Roquette Prison for young offenders, Paris (1825-1826); Hazebrouck Prison, (probably ca. 1825); Palais de justice and prison, Toulon (1829); Chalôns-sur-Marne prison (1828); prison buildings at Caen (1788); and the Agricultural colony, Ostwald (1841). A programme concerning the population and classification of prisoners is included with the record drawings of La Petite Roquette Prison (DR1974:0002:015:033). The prison buidings at Caen (1788) are represented in an engraving after the engineer Le Febvre's designs (DR1974:0002:015:048). The lithographs by E. Simon fils of the Agricultural colony at Ostwald (1841) include a bird's-eye view of the complex (DR1974:0002:015:051). The record drawings and prints of prisons in the United Kingdom include: Chester Castle Prison and courthouse (1785-1822); possibly Ipswich Prison (probably between 1816 and 1830); and possibly Bridewell Prison, Edinburgh (1791-1795). Also included are record drawings, probably of three different unidentified English prisons of radial plan, and one panopticon prison (panopticon plan: DR1974:0002:015:049; radial plans: DR1974:0002:015:059 - DR1974:0002:015:061, and DR1974:0002:015:063 - DR1974:0002:015:070). The project for Chester Castle prison and courthouse (DR1974:0002:015:052 - DR1974:0002:015:058), includes a description and analysis of the courthouse and a bird's-eye view (DR1974:0002:015:052, DR1974:0002:015:054 and DR1974:0002:015:056).
