Regarding the demolition of a house adjacent to the Law School. – September 12, 1818. He conducted another inspection of the house on Rue Saint-Étienne and acknowledges that it is falling into disrepair at an increasing rate. “The effects are evident every day in the loosening of the floor tiles and the constant creaking that the residents say they hear every night.” Given the cost that rehabilitation would entail, he advocates for demolition. – November 11, 1819, regarding the dividing wall of the demolished house. He proposed demolishing it and joining the courtyard to the garden, creating an opening with a door, “so that, through these arrangements, there will be no connection between the occupants of the small house immediately adjacent to the school and the courtyard or garden of the house occupied by Mr. Boulage.” He also proposes creating a passageway between the aforementioned house and the school, “a door opening onto the left gallery of the school to replace the one that opens onto the other gallery, since with this door one would no longer be required to cross the courtyard”... Attached are 5 L.S. or P.S., 1794–1795, as a member of the Public Works Commission (2 co-signed by Le Camus): requisition of a building; construction of a wooden floor at the fish market; Paris land registry; entrance examination for the École Polytechnique.
