The facade on Avinguda Blondel is a modernist structure with a sculptural treatment. A superior addition, which is currently non-existent, once announced that the building was owned by a banking entity.
While the interior was completely remodeled in 1974 by architects Sabater, Domènech and Puig, the exterior remains a protected site of local cultural interest. The facade features different ornamental elements that overlap the openings, which predominate over the wall.
Since the bank moved out, the building has been adapted for municipal use. It now houses technical services and various local government offices. The building's heritage was further preserved through a restoration of the Modernista facade of Avinguda Blondel between 2006 and 2008.
Today, you can see the contrast between the original sculpted work and the revalued porches on the ground floor, which feature woodwork on the ceiling and glass.
