Origin and history

The building located at 53 rue des Dames, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, is a former electrical factory built at the end of the 19th century. This building, representative of the urban industrialization of the period, is distinguished by its functional architecture and its integration into the Parisian fabric. Its façade, classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 20 February 1992, bears witness to the importance attached to the preservation of the industrial heritage of the capital.

The electrical factory was designed under the direction of Paul Friesé, the architect identified in the archives. This type of infrastructure, essential to the increasing electrification of Paris at the end of the 19th century, reflects the technological and social changes of the period. Today, the building belongs to a public institution, emphasizing its heritage status and its historical value in the Parisian architectural landscape.

The location of the factory, in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, corresponds to an area undergoing transformation at the time, marked by urban expansion and the arrival of new infrastructure. Although the details of its exact functioning or production remain unknown, its inclusion in the title of Historical Monuments in 1992 confirms its role in the industrial history of Paris. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), based on available data.
