Dominique de Cortone and Pierre Chambiges designed the Paris Administration Building, completed in 1928. Théodore Ballu and Édouard Deperthes led the reconstruction of the building in its original French Renaissance style. The interiors were given a plush Baroque decoration that can also be seen in the Paris Opera. Ballu also built the Church of La Trinité near the Louvre.
Art fills the complex by leading artists of France, including Auguste Rodin, Raphaël Collin, Ernest-Eugène Hiolle, Henri ChapuJean-Paul Laurens, Puvis de Chavannes, Henri Gervex, Aimé Morot and Alfred Roll. It featured prominently in France's revolutions and still today is one of the city's most impressive buildings. Temporary exhibitions are often displayed in front of the building, such as an impressive Christmas display, and grand events are often held in the halls.
