Album of competition drawings for a municipal slaughterhouse, route Royale, Saint-Germain-en-Laye

drawings executed 20 January or 31 January 1847

- This album contains the complete set of ten presentation drawings that Charles Rohault de Fleury submitted to the competition for a municipal slaughterhouse sponsored by the Conseil Municipal de la Ville de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The album also includes a pamphlet which describes the official programmes for the slaughterhouse competition as well as a competition for the restoration of the parish church (DR1974:0002:023:001). Rohault de Fleury submitted the following drawings according to programme guidelines: a general site plan at a scale of 2 mm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:003); sections and elevations showing the project as a whole on all the main façades and axes, at a scale of 5 mm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:004 - DR1974:0002:023:006); plans, elevations, and sections of the main buildings, at a scale of 1 cm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:007 - DR1974:0002:023:011); and details for the buildings, machinery, and decoration, at a scale of 2 cm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:012). The major components of the slaughterhouse - "les étaux des bouchers", "les bouveries", "les porcheries", and the administrative buildings - are composed of two buildings, identical on the exterior, but which vary according to function on the interior. The drawings indicate the proposed construction materials including a facing of rough stone for the walls, squared stone for the quoins, wood for the doors, metal for the gabled roofs, brick for the chimneys, and paved floors for areas coming into contact with the slaughtered animals ("les étaux des bouchers" and parts of the "porcherie").
