  •  Comment imo this building is at least 120 years old (judging the style), therefor I don't see a problem? Certainly would it be nice to know the name of the architect but ist's not always easy. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think 120 years is old enough to just assume PD with any degree of comfort. That would indicate construction c. 1893; it's entirely conceivable that the architect lived 50+ years more. For example, File:Le Vesinet villa Berthe La Hublotiere Hector Guimard.jpg, built 117 years ago in 1896, only reached public domain on 1/1/2013 (architect died in 1942). cmadler (talk) 14:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Even though I'm not the nominator (!), I live not far from this building. According to the townhall documents, it was built in 1862 by one of the two Paul Abadie (father and son), who were both architects during the 19th century. The first one died in 1868, and the second one in 1884, so no problem with the merciless No-FOP-in-France. I'll try to know, as soon as possible who's the good one (father or son). -- I think I could be deservedly suspected of FOPing in No-FOP territory, because the building has recently been cleaned and looks whiter than ever. Last point : it's not yet classified among the French patrimonial monuments, which is a pity imo. --JLPC (talk) 16:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
