The industrial building of the textile cooperative "La Obrera Mataronense" is the only witness to the project of 30 homes and a social building, with an assembly hall and a factory, which was commissioned to a recently graduated Antoni Gaudí, and which only partially executed (1883). The interest of this youthful work lies, more than in its architectural quality, in the significance of Gaudí's participation in a project of this kind, and that he occupied it between 1877 and 1882 with a series of preliminary sketches and studies on the operation of cooperatives.
