The iron house or metal house of Poissy and sometimes villa of the Maladrerie, is one of the ten iron houses listed in France and built according to the process of stamped sheets of Joseph Danly. Built in 1896, it was occupied until the 1980s. Initially located near the A14 motorway, it was abandoned following expropriation and suffered significant damage before being knocked down by the storm of 1999. It was dismantled in 2016 by the technical services of the city of Poissy and then reassembled in Meissonier Park to install an architecture and heritage interpretation centre within it, inaugurated on 19 September 2020.
