Civil building.

Construction with a ground floor, main floor, attic and a rooftop with a square tower that remains in the central part of the façade. Its interest lies in the refurbishment that took place at the end of the 19th century. It is characterised by the great profusion of ornamental sculptural elements that crown the openings (curiously none of them are of the same shape or size): breakwaters with shields, fleurons, garlands, human figures; imposts and capitals with floral and animal elements; animal gargoyles at the corners of the tower. The main floor is accessed via a two-flight staircase with sculpted handrails. The façade is decorated with sgraffito. There is a garden at the front of the house, enclosed with an iron gate also decorated with floral elements.

It is one of the most characteristic buildings of Passeig de Vilassar.

There is no date of construction, but in the photographs we can see that it was already built in 1898.

House between partitions that forms a corner within the medieval walled enclosure. It has a ground floor, first floor and two more floors added later, topped by a flat roof. The façades have plastered walls with ashlars in the corner. On the ground and first floors, imposts underline the ceilings. On the ground floor, stone ashlar portals with supporting corbels make a corner and reach the second floor. On the first floor, there is a stone window with a cornice arch with a lobed heel flanked by two capitals sculpted with vegetal motifs and twin windows without the column on the rest of the floors. The horizontal composition of the façade drawn by the shutters has the counterpoint of the verticality of the openings reinforced in the corner by the crown windows of the second and third floors above the cornice of the first floor. The crowning of the building is formed by a railing-cornice (CUSPINERA et al.; 2001; PATRIMONI, 1985).

Throughout the medieval period, Granollers changed its jurisdiction (royal or manorial) depending on the political interests of each moment. In the moments when it belonged to the royal domain, the town obtained privileges that favoured its municipal organisation, such as for example the exclusivity of the royal justice (1219), the election of a bailiff, the election of four juries (1356) and the imposition of municipal taxes (1366) linked to the construction of the wall. In 1418, Granollers passed definitively into royal power and as from 1500, with the establishment of the insaculation several privileges, strengthened the autonomy of the town, which prepared for the great moment of Granollers: the 16th century (GRANOLLERS, 2001). In the 16th century, Granollers had grown considerably, becoming the most important commercial centre in most of Catalonia, with its Thursday market. The inhabitants of Granollers practiced trades and provided their services to the farmers of neighbouring municipalities. Almost all the inhabitants belonged to a confraternity, under which the various trades were grouped (SESÉ, 1987a). In the 16th century, Granollers outgrew its medieval walls, extending along Carrer de Corró and Carrer de Barcelona. It meant the triumph of the menstral class and the increase in the power of the cities and royalty. At this time, the town of Granollers was able to build the Porxada, pave the streets, build new buildings, coins and a new town hall (1581-1582). This increased power of the City Council derives from the control over the market and the taxes it paid. There were the offices of ‘Pesador’, ‘Mostassà’ or ‘Palloler’, who in 1584 would have their own building: "el Pallol", or grain store. In the beginning, the Poxada was thought of as a shelter for the grain market, since the City Council had a monopoly on wheat, and the other products were placed around it: vegetables in Plaça de l'Oli, legumes in that of Blat, earthenware in that of Les Olles, animals in Plaça del Cabrits, etc. (SESÉ, 1987a).
