High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Victor Baltard (June 9, 1805 – January 13, 1874), French architect, who was born in Paris, son of architect Louis Baltard. Until 1833, Baltard studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he garnered the Prix de Rome for designing a military school in 1833. He went on to study at the Academie de France in Rome, Italy, from 1834 to 1838 under the direction of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. From 1849 on, he was the municipal architect of Paris. In this function, he was responsible for the restoration of several churches, as well as the construction of St. Augustin (1860–1867), in which he united the structural values of stone and steel. His most popular achievement was, however, the building of les Halles, the central market in Paris, during the years 1851 to 1857. In 1972 and 1973, however, these halls were torn down again. A single hall (completed in 1854) was classified as a historical monument and moved to Nogent-sur-Marne in 1971, where it is now known as the Pavillon Baltard.
