About
This villa was built in 1907-08 to plans by Parisian architect Bourniquel.
The front section features stacked bays, with a balcony on the second floor, and the left wing symmetrical openings. To the south, there is a garage and a veranda. The decoration is typical of Art Nouveau.
The truncated-pyramid roof of the forebuilding features a platform lined with wrought ironwork. The statue of a herald originally bore a standard used as a weather vane.
The gargoyles and rainwater downpipes are elaborately carved. Stone is used for ornamentation and quoins, brick for infill and slate for the roof.
Prominently located on boulevard Carnot, the villa illustrated the fortune of pharmacist Pozzi, whose initials can be seen on the gate, stoop and fireplaces. However, he never lived here.
In the 1930s, the villa was rented to Albert Prince, advisor to the Troyes public prosecutor and victim of the Stavisky affair.
