It was built under Louis XV to be the king's entertainment warehouse,
where playing equipment, entertainment and theatre decors were stored.
In a courtyard opening into Chantiers street, a temporary wood and canvas hall accommodated the States General deputies on May 5th, 1789.
The National Assembly deputies left it to go to Paris on October 12th, 1789.
The hall was pulled down in 1800. Today the building houses
the Baroque Music Center.
