Director's House or Maison du Directeur in the evening, part of the Royal Saltworks or Saline Royale, begun 1775 in Neoclassical style by architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux, 1736-1806, at Arc-et-Senans, Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The Director's House has an imposing portico with 6 Doric columns, a triangular pediment with oculus and a belvedere. The building houses an assembly room, offices, bank, apartments, servants quarters and a basement for storage. The site is designed in a semicircle, with the Director's House, 2 saltworks containing drying ovens, heating pots and salt stores, workers' accommodation and Director's stables. An Ideal City was also planned but never built. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
