In 1919 the decision was made to construct L'Hôtel des Postes in the centre of Chartres. The architect was Raoul Brandon (1878-1941), who incorporated a number of mosaics relating to the postal service, which Patrick Macquaire, in his book Un essai de transformation sociale : Le Quartier Picassiette à Chartres (2018), suggests may have been an inspiration to Raymond Isidore, or 'Picassiette'. The building became Médiathèque l'Apostrophe in 2007.
