Le Coin de Pierre - Génie civil remercie l'internaute Réginald Joseph ( reginaldcompucas@yahoo ) de lui avoir transmis les images ci-dessus. Il reste quelque doutes sur l'identifiction d'un bâtiment, la DGI et d'une partie d'un bâtiment: le Ministère des travaux publics ou celui de la santé publique (l'une des deux photos).
