In 1854, Bruno Cuadros Vidal opened a shop specializing in umbrellas and hand fans. After considerable success, he hired architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas to construct and decorate a new building doubling as a store and residential property. In 1885, the result was Casa Bruno Cuadros on La Rambla. The property is now a bank. Fortunately, the original decorative façade has been well maintained.
