Description

Commercial building designed by Jenaro de la Fuente Álvarez in the late 1920´ s. It is an unusual building, owing to the fact that its facades are composed of large single central openings, bounded by big pilasters at the edge. In the intermediate zone and the higher part, the pilasters and columns end in an architrave with a projecting cornice. On the Prince facade the cornice is noteworthy; two mythological figures were situated there: Mercury and Vulcan. On the Policarpo Sanz facade the ceramic-coloured murals with allegorical figures are worthy of note. In addition, among the ornaments we may find: ovas with darts, bases, corbels with volutes, grooved cartouches, etc.
