Description

The building was built in 1920 by Manuel Gómez Román. It is a simple construction, with four floors, including the ground floor, and a tower on the corner. It has large windows which stretch over two floors and which are separated by pilasters. The entrance is located on the corner, and is framed by a semicircular arch and the symbol of Correos, the post office. Above this there are two side sections, with three large openings and, on the upper floor, a cornice and an attic with an oculus. It was built by the contractor Vicente Calderón and has a sober classical style with minimum decoration.
