The building, with contemporary lines, was under construction at the end of 1949 and bears the signature of the Mechanical Engineer Alfredo Quintans Alves de Sá. In the centre, it had an enormous skylight and a lift that allowed the lifting of large pieces to the upper floors. The design office and the new CIF warehouses were installed in it.
During the works, Casa Alvão registered this building and the pieces stored inside at least twice. In this photograph, we can observe the completed structure, with an advertising sign on the façade that identifies the company. We can also see the circulation of vehicles on the EN108.
The building was vacant in 2023.
