The architect was only identified in the cited source as "Huvé". Although I added the link to Jacques-Marie Huvé in the Infoxbox template, I wasn't completely sure of the accuracy of the identification, so I was reluctant to add the full name to the info box or to the lead. It seems likely that this is the correct architect, so I am not reverting the change putting the full name in the lead, but the source does not totally support it.
