Doric columns with alternating cubic and cylindrical forms on the portico of the 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 columns, a triangular pediment with oculus and a belvedere. It 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
