During the defense of Madrid in the <strong>Civil war<\/strong> It was a police station and during the Franco era it was used as a rehearsal place for the music band of the <strong>Phalanx<\/strong>. Later, the property passed to the Citr\u00f6en house, which used it as a workshop. That is, it was left in the hands of God. In 2011 it was declared <strong>Asset of Cultural Interest for the Community of Madrid<\/strong> and this weekend, despite suffering for many years in abandoned conditions, he returned to activity after being rehabilitated.
