Flour Mill-Factory, Avenue del Port 129
The flour factory is located on an almost rectangular plot overlooking Ainguda del Port and Muñiz and H. d’Alba streets. It is composed of several buildings of very different volumetry, around a rectangular courtyard.
The entrance is through the Avenida del Puerto through a lush garden. Limited by a small wall, it marks the access with two classic pylons. At the back of the factory the plot was closed with a large patio also landscaped. Another small side patio separates the site of the factory from the adjacent one.
The new factory built at the beginning of the century (1910), maintains the characteristics of this industrial sector; The lateral facades, are characterized by their sobriety, of two floors with few gaps with respect to the amplitude of the openings, although these have undergone multiple modifications, for example on the façade facing Muñiz street two large doors with semicircular arches framed and joined by strong and classic molding have been blinded (there are still traces in the facing). Some hollows have been retained, leaving in others its original segmental arch. The main piece, the factory itself, has four arcaded floors and the last one with a two-sided roof.
It still maintains the severe and repetitive rhythm of the voids, something
sunken
and of living edge, as well as the long simple mouldings that mark the different plants; although many of the gaps have been modified or blinded. From this volume of four floors, the set decreases, on its sides to three floors and towards the front with two floors, two small pieces of one floor are added later.
