The building was constructed between 1910 and 1913 on the plans of the architect François Clermont (1857-1931). The building was inaugurated by President Raymond Poincare in 1914, during the 1914 Urban International Exhibition.

The Exhibition was an international exhibition in the district of la Mouch in Lyon on 50 hectares. It took place in 1914, its progress, however disturbed by the beginning of WW1 on 2nd August, which forced the closure of German and Austrian pavilions. It put forward the project of a modern and original city, which solved the problems related to urban development, new needs, hygienist theories and necessary social progress.
