Usine sucrière Darboussier, Sugar refinery in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe
The Darboussier sugar refinery features a central brick and metal core surrounded by a concrete gallery in a symmetrical configuration at 11 rue Raspail.
The factory, established in 1869 on the site of Jean D'Arboussier's former sugar plantation, operated continuously until its closure in 1980.
The Memorial ACTe, dedicated to the memory of slavery and trade, opened in 2015 on the grounds of the former sugar refinery complex.
The administrative building contains decorative elements including horizontal reinforced concrete blades encircling the structure on two levels.
The property belongs to the municipality and received partial historical monument status on April 20, 2006, with archives stored in Charenton-le-Pont.
