La House of Jacinto Soler It is located at 15 Príncipe de Vergara Street. It was designed in 1920 by the Aragonese architect Joaquín Juncosa Molins and was built between 1920 and 1923. This architect, like many other architects (no less than 83), suffered reprisals after the Civil War through the “SOCIO-POLITICAL PURGEMENT ACTS”, carried out by the Associations of Architects of Spain in 1940. Penalties ranging from perpetual to temporary disqualification in the exercise of the profession and in the performance of public offices were imposed. . Some of them, very relevant personalities such as Josep Puig i Cadafalch (great representative of Catalan modernism, with a large number of buildings in Barcelona), Secundino Zuazo o Fernando Chueca Goitia. For anyone interested in this topic, I leave you a excellent article from the great blog of Urban Idad.
The Juncosa building is regionalist in style, with very clear references to the Spanish Neo-Renaissance. It is built of brick and stone.
In 2003, Sacyr Vallehermoso and Grupo 22 acquired the property and rehabilitated it for residential use.
A abrazo.
