Electric lights are one of the greatest inventions of mankind. They ended the old era of using lighting tools such as torches, candles, oil lamps, etc., brought light to the night and promoted the progress of world civilization.
Invention King Edison
Have seen the shocking satellite night view. Any place where the lights are densely dense, the economically developed areas must be economically developed, while the economically underdeveloped areas are dark. Electric lights are inseparable from the development of the human world, and modern society cannot do without electric lights.

Everyone knows that the inventor of the electric light is Edison of the United States, but few people probably know when the electric light began to illuminate Fushun .
Fushun’s history of electric lamps is closely related to modern coal mining. After the Manchurian Railway built the Dashankeng Power Station in 1908, it directly supplied power and lighting for Dongxiangkeng and Dashankeng, and began to erect electric lamp poles in Qianjinzhai Xinshi Street Ri people’s district.
Electric poles beside Qianjinzhai Street
By 1911, without the permission of the Chinese side, Japan Charcoal Mine set up electric poles in the old street where the Chinese live without the grounds that it installed electric lights in Japanese stores.
Dashankeng First Power Station
After negotiations, the Japanese side stated that if China stands independent, the electric lights will be removed. At that time, some Chinese merchants installed Japanese electric lights. This is a record of the earliest use of Fushun electric lights.
Fushun County Magistrate Cheng Tingheng once planned to introduce Fengtian Electric Light Factory technology to set up a branch in Fu, and invited experts from Fengtian Electric Light Factory to come to Fu for inspection. Later, it was stranded for some reason, and Fushun Electric Light was finally monopolized by Japan's charcoal mine.

According to statistics, in 1921, there were 283 street lights in Qianjinzhai area, and they were mainly distributed in Japanese areas, with few Chinese living areas.
With the implementation of Qianjinzhai relocation plan, Japan Charcoal Mine began to plan and build Xinshi Street in Yong'antai, and the electric light business also transferred. In 1924, a carbon mine electric lamp business office was established on Central Street.

1943, Manchurian Railway established Fushun Carbon Mine Power Firm. After Fushun was liberated, it became the Power Supply Department of Fushun Mining Bureau, responsible for the two businesses of power supply and call in the mining area.
is located in the former site of Fushun Carbon Mine Electric Lighting Business Office on Central Street, and later it was Fushun Carbon Mine Electric Power Firm. After liberation, it was used by the Power Supply Department of Fushun Mining Bureau.

The building is a two-story building with a building area of 1091 square meters, with a ridge-shaped steep top, the original main door faces west, and there are arc-shaped decorative gables on the roof above the main door.

During recent renovations, the round gable on the roof of the original main gate was demolished, the south gate was changed to the main gate, and the gray tiles on the roof were replaced with blue color steel tiles , which is now the telecommunications business hall in the mining area.
Party Committee Building
Recent visits found that there was an additional Fumin Group cultural protection sign on the wall, called the Party Committee Building. It seems that the building may have been an office building of a certain agency of the Fumin Power Supply Department after liberation, and was announced as an industrial cultural relic of Fumin Group in 2020.

0The construction time marked by the Wenbao plaque was in 1938, which is inconsistent with the establishment time of the Carbon Mine Electric Light Business Office and needs to be verified.
In recent years, the roof treatment of some old buildings has mostly been replaced by colored steel tiles, but the effect after replacement is not satisfactory.

Historical buildings generally use gray tiles to lay the roof, which is practical and simple, consistent with the age and temperament of the building itself.
color steel tiles are press-shaped plates made of color coated steel plates. It is mainly suitable for various industrial and civil buildings, with many characteristics such as rich colors, fast paving, long life, and wide application.

Although colored steel tiles have many advantages, they are not suitable for use in historical buildings, because industrialized products are not coordinated with the original architectural style, which will lose the historical heaviness of the old buildings. Secondly, colored steel tiles are very easy to reflect, and are very dazzling when exposed to sunlight and are extremely unsightly.

Although it is more difficult to repair the old as the old as the new, this kind of repair method actually does not achieve the meaning of complete protection, but instead destroys the original appearance, which is a disrespect for historical buildings and should be avoided as much as possible in the future renovating old buildings.
