Building description:
Building between party walls located on the street Carrer Major in San Pere de Ribes. It has a rectangular floor plan and is structured in three bays.
It consists of a ground floor and two upper storeys and has a gable roof with the ridge parallel to the façade. The front is symmetrically arranged along three axes, defined by flat-arched openings with moulded surrounds and frames.
The entrance doorway has a segmental stone arch, with the coat of arms inscribed with the year "1878". The centre windows have two lights. The façade is crowned by a small rectangular gable located in the centre. The floor levels are highlighted on the outside by cornices, the upper one of which is serrated.
