These buildings are examples of the change in architecture at the end of the 19th century. Society was changing and demanded a new social and functional city, besides monuments. No surprise then that a municipal architect specialising in theatres, Andreu Audet i Puig, designed these houses.
Baroque excesses gave way to the Neoclassical order and new Catalan Art Nouveau styles. So, the ground floor of number 26 recalls the earlier tastes, with a Baroque doorway and mullioned windows typical of medieval historicism. However, because of its symmetrical configuration, Casa Concepció Mas de Pelegrí (1899) is a Neoclassical building.
Next door, Casa Manuel Comellas (1902) is surprising for the Catalan Art Nouveau solutions for the structure: the semi-circular balconies and the outline of the railings. Ornamentally, though, the building is still historicist, with modillions of floral elements beneath the balconies and on the eaves.
