In 1935 the building was converted to apartments.The architect was Enrique Nieto (1883-1954) a specialist in the Catalan Art Nouveau school who studied under Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona and adopted a neo-Arabic style for the façade, respecting the Moroccan context of Melilla and inside the building where the decoration reflects Moroccan motifs.
