Descriptive Note

Joseph-Antoine Bouvard was a French architect. He trained with Hugues Quenin in Vienna, Austria, and in 1864 he enrolled in the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, where he studied under Simon-Claude Constant-Dufeux. Among his realized projects are the Caserme de la Garde Républicaine (1882-1883) and the Bourse du Travail in Paris (1892), and the railway stations of Saint-Étienne-Châteaucreux (1882-1884) and Marseilles-Saint-Charles (1893-1896).
