To create this mansion two houses were unified. Like in other constructions at that time, it features a continuous balcony in the façade and the layout around a main courtyard. The pillars of the lower galleries of this yard are of brickwork and the upper ones are made of wood with a peculiar shape.

The good state of preservation of this building is due to the restoration carried out in 1935 by its owner, the Aguilera Company specialized in hardware products established there since 1874.
