Pierre-Louis Black-Desproux is a French architect born in Paris in 1727 (or 1736) and died in Paris in 1793.
After having failed the Price of Rome, it agreed to divide that of his friend Charles De Wailly. In Rome, both took part, just like Marie-Joseph Peyre, with the excavations of the Thermes of Dioclétien.
Once returned in Paris, Black-Desproux built the hotel of Chavannes on the Boulevard of the Temple (1758 - 1760, destroyed). The Laugier abbot, who made criticism of it, there detected the first developments of a new style.
Black-Desproux built then the Square House of Beaudoin (1770) on the ridges Montmartre, the fountain of Haudriettes (C. 1770, Rue of Haudriettes, Paris).
It built the two private mansions located behind the colonnade of the building located on the Place of the Harmony at the west of the Royal Rue, one for itself and the other for his friend Rouillé of Estang (1772). It restructured the hotel of Luynes (C. 1775, destroyed; a living room was re-installed with the Musée of Louvre).
He was general Maître of the buildings of the Town of Paris. For this reason he worked on the frontage (unfinished) of the church Saint-Eustace. Between 1764 and 1770, it rebuilt the Opéra (destroyed in 1781) and the frontages of the first court of the Palais Royal.
