The Pathé Red House
The Pathé Red House is situated in Xujiahui Park. In the late 19th century, the French record company Pathé entered Shanghai, introducing the trendy and novel phonograph. This machine that "captures the voice of singers and brings all sounds to life with a turn of its head" thrilled the people of Shanghai at the time, quickly becoming a local fad. Moreover, purchasing a phonograph also saved the cost of hiring live entertainment, so this “fashionable and economical” Shanghainese model led to the rapid popularization of phonographs among fashionable households in Shanghai.
