Group of industrial buildings and former home of the owner of the Moretó flour mill, founded in 1890. It is a work of transition between Modernisme and Noucentisme, built between 1917 and 1919. In 1929 it was extended with new silos and, some time later, in 1935, the garden of the house was built there.
The industrial part is made up of several volumes at different heights. The main building has a rectangular floor plan of great height oriented to the north with several side buildings. They are located on a plinth of concentrated masonry with protruding exposed brick columns, which act as vertical dividers. The top is based on a cornice of wavy shapes with brick framing. The columns surmount the cornice in the form of a pinnacle covered with semi-circular ceramic pieces.
Casa Moretó is located within the complex, but isolated and surrounded by a garden. It has a quadrangular floor plan, two-storeys high and covered by a hip roof with an acroterium at the top. In the eastern corner stands a four-storey lookout tower with a pavilion roof, also crowned by an acroterium at the top. It has a semi-detached body at the front with a square plan, consisting of a ground floor and a main floor and crowned by a terrace protected by a masonry balustrade. Attached to this body we find a porch supported by two square shaft columns on which there is a terrace with access from the ground floor of the main body, and which is also protected by a masonry balustrade. The openings have flat lintels with stepped sills and decoration with green ceramic tiles above and also on the imposts, all crowned by a brick arch. The decorations under the eaves of the main building and the lookout tower stand out. They are made with bricks that combine brown and green in a pattern of geometric motifs.
The Moretó i Prat brothers, settled in Mollet and owners of a steam sawmill, took advantage of the surplus energy to install millstones to grind flour in 1895. In 1919, the second generation started construction work on the new factory and house at the current location. The garden and the fence of the house were carried out later, in 1935.
