Le siège du bureau de la santé, qui se trouvait dans ce bâtiment, a été agrandi en 1804 et en 1827. Un second bâtiment, identique au premier, a été ajouté en 1867 pour renforcer le dispositif sanitaire. Malheureusement, malgré ces mesures, le bateau le Grand Saint-Antoine a propagé la peste dans toute la ville en 1720, ce qui a mené à une terrible épidémie.
Ces bâtiments sont aujourd’hui inscrits au titre des monuments historiques depuis un arrêté du 23 novembre 1949. Ils abritent désormais des services administratifs et restent un témoignage important de l’histoire sanitaire et maritime de Marseille

Jacques Peyrelevade is a contemporary French expressionist painter known for his expertise in oil, pastel, ink, and charcoal. His artistic canvas spans the vibrant landscapes of Marseille, the Mediterranean, Provence, and the East. Yet, in his creations, the ground serves merely as a backdrop, a support for the interplay of color and light, akin to a symphony of visual music. The palette knife emerges as his chosen technical instrument, orchestrating the dance of vivid hues across his canvases.
Born in Marseille, Peyrelevade's upbringing carried the echoes of his familial roots, hailing from a lineage of farmers in Corrèze and Dordogne. At the tender age of ten, he found himself among the last visitors to the prehistoric marvel of Lascaux, where he experienced his inaugural artistic epiphany, setting him on a path toward painting. It wasn't until retirement beckoned that Peyrelevade could wholly devote himself to his passion for art.
During his formative years, the young Peyrelevade found himself mesmerized by the luminosity emanating from Van Gogh's room at the Musée d'Orsay. Later, he delved into the extensive correspondence between Vincent and Theo, extracting invaluable insights into the nuances of color and line. While acknowledging the influence of esteemed artists such as Claude Monet and Nicolas de Staël, Peyrelevade attributes much of his artistic ethos to the Provençal school. Exhibitions featuring luminaries like Monticelli, Jean-Baptiste Olive, Marquet, Camoin, Verdilhan, Seyssaud, Ambrogiani, and Toncini left an indelible mark on his artistic sensibilities, shaping his distinctive expressionist style.
With each stroke of his brush, Jacques Peyrelevade breathes life into his canvases, capturing the essence of the world around him in a mesmerizing symphony of color and light, perpetuating the legacy of his artistic lineage while carving out a unique narrative of his own.
