Biography
A student at the Beaux-Arts de Paris under Guillaume Abel Blouet, Charles-Félix Saint-Père and Émile Gilbert, he won the Grand Prix de Rome for architecture in 1855.[1] Daumet accompanied the Archeologist Léon Heuzey on an expedition to Macedonia in 1861. On his return he married the daughter of the architect Charles Questel.
Daumet founded his own atelier which would produce nine further Grand Prix winners, Charles-Louis Girault chief among them, and attracted a number of foreign students such as Charles McKim and Austin W. Lord.
In 1908, Daumet won the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
He was a close friend of the sculptor Henri Chapu. Daumet died on 12 December 1911 at his home in the 6th arrondissement of Paris,[2] and was buried in the 15th division of Montparnasse Cemetery.[3]
