Lapeira factory, the Felix Saenz Department Stores, and the city’s Telephone Exchange.

Architectural and functional description

The building looks out onto Calle de la Victoria to the west, Monte Victoria to the east, and other adjoining buildings to the north and south. This rectangular building with interior courtyards is spread over five storeys including the ground floor, and the architecture is protected as part of the BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural) historic-artistic-cultural heritage site of Málaga.

The building’s exterior façade is divided in two vertical sections. The first section contains a grandiose entrance with a rounded arch flanked by Tuscan columns with cubic capitals, on top of which sits a balcony, decorated with tiles, with two recesses adorned with a curved lintel. On both sides, aligned with the window recesses on the ground floor, are two other identical balcony recesses.

Large corbels, which begin very low down, support the curved windows on the sides. On the second floor there are turrets and joined balconies, segmental archways separated by imposts, and mullion windows composed of double arches that rest on columns. On the third floor, between the two sides, a terrace with balcony and wrought ironwork, with arches supported by columns. On the fourth floor, a stone balcony, with columns supporting the beam under the eaves. Inside there is a central rectangular courtyard that is reached through a hallway crowned by a ceiling profusely decorated with Mudejar plasterwork, a small hallway with two half stone columns that support a beam. To the rear, there is a private garden for use by the ground floor properties.
