A history of French architecture from the death of Mazarin till the death of Louis XV, 1661-1774 . eneral de la ville et faubourgs de Paris, who died before 1696, when hisson Jean marchand bourgeois de Paris was married to Anine Genevieve Desproz inthe presence of his brother Pierre Leve architecte des batiments du Roi. It was thisPierre Leve, I take it, who designed the house in the Rue de Richelieu, but the onlyPierre Leve that I find mentioned in the Comptes is a large contractor for masonrywho did work at S. Germains in 1682, and at Versailles between 1684 and 1705. At thelatter place he was associated with a Robert de Cotte, both of them being described asentrepreneurs, and paid large sums in that capacity. Unless we are to suppose thatDe Cotte undertook contracts while actually holding a high official position as anarchitect there must have been two Robert De Cottes, and may have been two PierreLeves. More probably Leve assumed the title of architecte, even architecte du Roi,though it was against the law, which limited the use of that title to members of theAcademy. Pl. XXXVI.
