Roger Gonthier

Roger Gonthier (1884–1978) was a French architect, whose major works were in Limoges, France. He worked within the Compagnie du Paris-Orleans architectural practice.

At the start of the 20th century, Limoges was expanding and there was a revival in the construction of new public buildings. Gonthier designed the Gare de Limoges-Benedictins (railway station) in 1917, one of the last great monumental train stations in France, and it was built between 1927 and 1929. It remains a landmark building within the city and has been listed since 1975.

He also designed the pavillon du Verdurier, the municipal slaughterhouse, the cite-jardin de Beaublanc and the Cite des Coutures.
