Gare Saint-Lazare

A native of Alençon, Lisch studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and was pupil of Léon Vaudoyer and Henri Labrouste. His architectural career was geared towards civic work: stations, public buildings, churches, and restoration of monuments^[1][2]. Notably, he built the Gare des Carbonnets, an architectural masterpiece located next to Paris.

Juste Lisch retired in 1901 and died in Paris in 1910. He is buried in the Rouen monumental cemetery.^[1][2]
