Conservées sous terre depuis bientôt cent ans, les grilles historiques du Printemps Haussmann donnant sur la rue du Havre vont être restaurées puis remises en état de marche en octobre prochain. Un ancien mécanisme à poulies, dévoilé à l'occasion de visites patrimoniales, permet en effet de faire remonter les imposantes grilles depuis le sous-sol du magasin jusque dans la rue.
Ces grilles ont été installées en 1881 lors de la reconstruction du magasin après un incendie, puis finalement abandonnées en 1930. Une façon donc de faire revivre le patrimoine mais également de protéger les entrées suite aux attentats et aux manifestations des gilets jaunes.
Dans la nuit du 22 mai dernier, une première grille en bronze et métal de 500kg a été déplacée à l'aide d'une grue pour être restaurée dans l'Oise. La seconde grille devrait également rejoindre l'atelier spécialisé dans quelques semaines. Magnifiquement décorées, les deux grilles vont être nettoyées et certains éléments manquants ou trop abimés vont être recréés à l'identique par un ferronnier.
