Rue des Immeubles-Industriels, Historical industrial street in Quartier Sainte-Marguerite, Paris, France.
Description
Rue des Immeubles-Industriels is a 130-meter-long street lined with 19 identical stone and brick buildings built close together. Each structure houses workshops on the ground floor with residential apartments stacked above.
History
Built between 1872 and 1873, this street emerged from architect Émile Leménil's innovative plan to house workers and artisans under one system. The combined living and workshop concept represented a novel approach to urban housing at that time.
Culture
For generations, this street served as a working-class neighborhood where artisans and their families lived side by side with their workshops. Visitors can observe how domestic and professional spaces remain interwoven throughout the buildings.
Practical
This street sits in the 11th arrondissement and is easily accessible on foot, particularly through the nearby neighborhood center. Visiting during daylight hours allows better viewing of the building facades and architectural details.
Did you know?
A central steam engine built by industrialist Jean-François Cail once powered all the workshops and apartments through a shared mechanical system. This unified energy supply allowed artisans to operate efficiently without individual power sources.
