The house is located near to the San Felipe Neri Oratory. At the start of the 20th century, the Mayol family refurbished their housing adapting it to the Modernist trends. The architect José Romero was commissioned to oversee this work and he took great care with all its aspects while maintaining the traditional structure of a Cadiz house.
Its façade has grooved pilasters over its three storeys, with yellow tiles on the first and second storey and red paint on the ground floor.

Properties No. 5-D, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of  Plaza de España form the unit known as the House of Five Towers. They are five different houses built on a large city block. They were built in around 1771 and are in the Baroque style, in the transitional phase to Neoclassicism.
Despite being independent properties, they form a uniform whole and have unique characteristics. Each house has four storeys, a small inner courtyard and tower. The structures of the façades are separated by cornices and openings forming balconies and enclosures, except on the ground floor, where there are windows.

The current Seat of Cadiz Provincial Council was built between 1770 and 1783.  It was designed by Juan Caballero, the military engineer, as the Customs building.
