Eduard Calvet i Pintó
Barcelona (1875) - (1917)
In 1898 Juliana Pintó, the widow of Pere Màrtir Calvet, bought a plot of land in the Eixample district of Barcelona to have the family home built on and install the offices of the textile workshop on the ground floor. One of her children, Eduard Calvet, an economist and manufacturer, signed the contract with the architect A. Gaudí, who had been commissioned to erect the building.
An active man in the industrial life of Barcelona, he took part in various congresses as a representative of Catalan industry and held several posts in the business and cultural spheres. He was also involved in politics as a member of the Republican Party.
