Gloria Mansions

The Gloria Mansions is a large building located in the Baumettes district, at 123 - 125 rue de France, in Nice. This concrete building was built between 1932 and 1934 by  Armenian architects Garabed Hovnanian and Kevork Arsenian trained in the United States for Joachim Nahapiet, a promoter of Armenian origin  coming back from the USA.

 Its Art deco style is inspired by the typical American style of the New York "apartments-hotel" of  the years 1900 and 1910.

 This building including the courtyard with its mosaïcs is  made of reinforced concrete. The architect also uses the technique of granito (slightly tinted cement  with the addition of pearl sequins  made from crushed oyster shells)

The interior is distinguished mainly by a magnificent stained glass made by Lassale representing a maritime landscape according to a design of Mahokian.

The most prominent feature of this construction,  is the central staircase with an elliptical cage, which only starts from the first floor (and not from the ground floor) and is accessed by a French staircase with two symmetrical flights.

The Gloria Mansions  has been renovated in 2014 to  its magnificent  condition of 1934..  It is still inhabited by some "happy few".
