Architect Léon de Keyser designed these two houses in 1908, as he also created several others on this same avenue.
These have no similarities, apart from the number of levels.
The house at No. 127, in two unequal bays, in white enameled bricks streaked with red bricks, is distinguished by its three-sided oriel window, topped by a small balcony protected by an elegant wrought iron canopy.
Numerous earthenware panels adorn the facade, presenting typically Art Nouveau floral decorations. The earthenware comes from the Helman workshops and the Decorative Ceramics Manufacture in Hasselt.
The house at no. 125, also in white brick, has a bow window closer to interwar constructions, topped by a balcony with balustrades with a more classic design. Decorated with earthenware with more traditional Art Nouveau motifs.
The whole is in good state of conservation.
Houses listed since November 1995
