France, Paris, Rue Gluck, the private bank "Société Générale - Agence centrale", between rue Gluck, boulevard Haussmann & rue Halévy.
The originally seven buildings on the block dating from around 1870, were acquired by "Société Générale" in 1905. The architect Jacques Hermant then built the bank's head office, demolishing all the buildings with the exception of their preserved street façades.
This operation was accompanied by the creation of four levels of basements & a large glazed frame dome. The complex was inaugurated in June 1912. The facades & roofs on street as well as the large hall with its glass roof, the grand staircase & the vault were registered under the "Monuments Historiques" in 1977.
Rue Gluck in the 9th arrondissement of Paris starts at Place Jacques-Rouché & ends at Diaghilev Square. Due to its proximity to the Opera House, this street bears the name of Christoph Willibald Gluck, 1714-178, a German composer.
The department store building with the green light stripes decoration is a "Galeries Lafayette", one of the large traditional French department store chain, founded in 1893 in number 1 rue La Fayette & which is today present internationally in numerous major cities.
