Comment

The "Social Palace", built in 1859 by Jean-Baptiste André Godin near his factory, illustrates the ambition of this pioneering industrialist to establish a solidary relationship between labor and capital. It consists of three pavilions, each organized around a vast glassed-in interior courtyard that serves, via corner staircases and passageways, some 500 dwellings equipped with all the modern comforts of the time.
