A distinctive feature of the house is a corner glass verandah with metal frames. The cornice is decorated with an ornament in which Masonic symbols are clearly visible, as well as the corporate style of Caselles - vegetable stucco and metal elements.

It is worth paying attention to the original paving slabs with a vegetable pattern - the main element of the decor of the modernist city of Rheu.

Turning into the Jesus lane (Carrer de Jesús), leading to the Market square, you can see another creation by Caselles, Casa Iglesias ( on the map), built in 1908.

Not very good location of the building - a narrow street does not allow you to get a full idea of the beauty of the house, designed in Catalan art Nouveau-three - dimensional wrought-iron balcony bars and flower moldings.
