history
The Sous-station ( substation of the Paris Métro ) Temple was built in 1908 according to plans by the architect Paul Friesé , who built a number of substations in Paris, for the purposes of the operating company ( Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris ) of the Paris Métro .
architecture
The building has a steel structure and brick walls . The three high arched windows on the street side, which extend over several floors, are reminiscent of Gothic church windows. They are framed by two pilasters that extend to the frieze below the roof end. Above that, the same architect added two more floors to the building in 1912.
Above the large windows is the inscription Compagnie Parisienne de Distribution d'Électricité , the name of the Parisian electricity company at the time.
Today, Électricité de France offices are located in the renovated and internally converted building .
