Mory Warehouse

Monument · Vilafranca del Penedès, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

The Magatzem Mory stands in the railway-station area of Vilafranca del Penedès, where examples of early-twentieth-century industrial architecture abound. It is a single-nave noucentista warehouse sharing party walls with its neighbours, on Carrer del Sol, 26, with a two-pitched roof of Arabic tiles and two similar façades divided into three bays by vertical brick bands, with a central round-arched window divided into five parts and a stepped crown; exposed brick resolves every element of the façade except the door. The firm Joan Mory i Companyia commissioned the project in 1917 from the architect Santiago Güell, who reworked it in a second design in 1920.
