It was the time of the thirty glorious years and the industrial boom. In 1958, Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC), which later became ABB, then Alstom, built four office buildings on Römerstrasse, a street leading directly from the bathing district to the industrial zone where the BBC was installed in 1891. To build these new buildings, it was necessary to demolish the villa of Charles EL Brown, one of the founders of the company. This demolition also led to the loss of one of the main works of the architects Curjel and Moser, who had also designed the old building of the Kunsthaus Zürich and the main building of the University of Zürich.
