		The project was a challenging one due to the vicinity of the Louvre and the Palais de la Légion d'honneur: the new station needed to be perfectly integrated into its elegant surroundings.
		Victor Laloux, who had just completed the Hôtel de Ville in Tours, was chosen as winner of the competition in 1898.
		Laloux chose to mask the modern metallic structures with the façade of the hotel, which, built in the academic style using finely cut stone from the regions of Charente and Poitou, successfully blended in with its noble neighbours.

		On the eve of the 1900 World Fair, the French government ceded the land to the Orleans railroad company, who, disadvantaged by the remote location of the Gare d'Austerlitz, planned to build a more central terminus station on the site of the ruined Palais d'Orsay.
		Inside, all the modern techniques were used: ramps and lifts for luggage, elevators for passengers, sixteen underground railtracks, reception services on the ground floor, and electric traction.
		Their project was chosen in 1979 out of six propositions, and would respect Laloux's architecture while nonetheless reinterpreting it according to its new function.

		The Musee d'Orsay originally was the Orsay Train Station and hotel designed by Victor Laloux from 1898 to 1900.
		In the 1970's the government decided to transform the no longer used station into a museum to hold art from the second half of the 19th century.
		While it is a relief that this beautiful building has been preserved and kept in use, it is clear to see that this building was never originally a museum.

		Naturally, a competition was held and Victor Laloux won it in 1898.
		He managed to complete the construction by the time the fair opened on the 14th of July 1900, although views quickly developed to transform the station into a museum thus foreseeing the present by over 80 years.

		Initially a student of Louis-Jules André at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1878 Laloux won the Prix de Rome for his project for a cathedral.
		This enabled him to study at the Académie de France in Rome, and on his return he embarked on several minor domestic commissions.
		Inspired by Early Christian, Byzantine and Romanesque basilicas in Italy, Laloux built it in a Romanesque style, with the dome above the transept crossing recalling, in its outline, the large Baroque dome of S Andrea della Valle, Rome, by Carlo Maderno.

		He studied there under Drouillard and Victor Laloux (the architect of the Gare d’Orsay).
		Like Victor Baltard’s church of St Augustin (1860–67) and Louis-Auguste Boileau’s St Eugène (1854–5), Notre-Dame du Travail is built of stone and metal, but unlike them it uses industrial T-section and I-section iron girders, which are riveted and welded together.
		Its spacious, relatively empty surface at ground level, the openings high up that diffuse an even light throughout the building, and the use of brick and buhrstone make the church seem more closely related to contemporaneous factories than to other Parisian churches built with metal frameworks in various revival styles.

	Seeler, Edgar Viguers (1867-1929) -- Philadelphia Architects and Buildings
		When he had finished four years at the PMSI, Seeler moved on to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated in the Class of 1890.
		From MIT he continued his study of architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in the atelier of Victor Laloux from 1890 until 1893.
		Thus, Seeler represented one of the generation of educated architects, who, having studied at the Ecole, also travelled extensively in Europe and often set up their own practices upon their return, bypassing the traditional apprenticeship with an older, seasoned firm.
