Description

Building designed in 1935 by the architect Francisco Castro Represas. The stonework was carried out by master stonemason Ángel García Martínez employing white granite from the Castrelos mountains and a polished finish. The ground plan is trapezoidal and consists of a ground floor and four storeys. The facade is almost symmetrical and the central body, which is more highly decorated than the rest, is noteworthy, especially where the main door is located. The decoration of this body is capped with a pyramidal shape, with large striae between the windows which refer back to Art Déco influences. The rest of the decoration and forms are clearly rationalistic: curved balconies with tubular railings, horizontal windows, vertical grooves, cylindrical pillars, etc. In the upper part of the building there is a cornice and some beautiful corbels which support the weight of the stone projections on either side of the central body.
