A group of workers that included Jose Torrellas, set up the Coperatica Obrera La Fraternidad in 1879 to benefit from a mutual service among partners. They opened their headquarters in Carrer San Carlos in 1885 and their own bakery in 1899 . They bought the building in 1910 and added floors to it in 1917. It housed a shop, a cellar and a kitchen on its ground floor, a coffee salon on its first floor, an assembly hall and a theatre on its second floor and a meeting room and a library on its third floor. They all remained in service until 1970. Today it houses the Biblioteca Barceloneta-La Fraternitat .
