CONT

Au cours du XIXe s., toute une architecture industrielle allait se développer à partir du modèle anglais offert par les filatures et l'utilisation de la vapeur comme force motrice. Les usines auront une structure de fonte et de fer dans une enveloppe en brique et en verre. Après 1875, ces structures, grâce aux ascenseurs, seront adaptées aux besoins du commerce dans les grands magasins et les gratte-ciel d'outre-Atlantique.
