In 1884 the City Council bought all areas of the block next door, this action was motivated by the need to locate here a market, due this area were the most populated area around this new district. The area that today we known as the Right Eixample, was in those early days, the neighborhood of the bourgeoisie, who introduced its own style houses: Modernism.
