Mestres House (Vicenç Mestres House)

Monument · Vilafranca del Penedès, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

A house sharing party walls on Carrer Clascar, 21-23, in Vilafranca del Penedès, in the area of urban expansion that formed alongside the Sant Martí de Sarroca road (BV-2121), opened in 1881, of eclectic and Modernista architecture. It is a four-bay building with a ground floor and one upper floor under a two-pitched Arabic-tile roof, and a rear gallery and courtyard. The doors have trilobed arches, there are reinforced-mortar balusters and brickwork, and the whole reflects an austere Modernisme. It has been protected as a Bien Cultural de Interés Local (local-level cultural heritage protection status) since 2004.
