The Hotel Hannon in Brussels, was occupied by the Hannon family until 1965 when it was abandoned and threatened with demolition. 

It was not until 1979, that the town bought back the house and saved it from destruction. Furniture design, now gone, and the interior design was the work of Émile Gallé and Louis Majorelle. Some frescoes in the smoking room and the staircase are by the painter Paul Albert Baudouin. 

Fully restored in the 1980s , it’s owned by the photographic Contretype which in addition to keep the photographic work of Édouard Hannon and assures the promotion of creative photography through exhibitions.
