The museum is housed within the Complexo Fepasa, which is a protected historical landmark listed by the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (CONDEPHAAT).
The site originally served as the Companhia Paulista's main 'oficinas' (workshops) for steam and later electric locomotive maintenance.
Jundiaí was a crucial junction point, connecting the coffee-producing regions of the interior to the port of Santos via the railway network.
The architecture features distinctive brick masonry and high ceilings characteristic of late 19th and early 20th-century industrial railway design in São Paulo.
The Companhia Paulista Museum, located in the historic Complexo Fepasa, preserves the legacy of the Jundiaí railway expansion in the early 20th century. The museum occupies a former railway industrial site that once served as the primary repair and maintenance hub for the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro. Its collections focus on the social and technological impact of the railway on Jundiaí's urban development. Visitors can view artifacts related to train operation, historical photographic documentation, and equipment used by the railway workforce. The site is part of a wider cultural revitalization project within the repurposed industrial buildings. Exhibits are curated to illustrate the daily lives of employees and the administrative history of the company.
