In 1910, as the city and its businesses developed, Nicolau contracted the construction of a splendid building that included a candy factory, confectionery shop and ballroom to the architect Salvador Lambertini, who died before the work was finished.

[5] The Atlas on the facade were made by Giuseppe Gaudenzi, and the group on the pediment was designed by Frederico Pellarin, possibly assisted by Gustavo Steigleder, since they had a joint workshop.

[8] On the facade, the huge Atlas of imposing size and monolithic constitution stand out, with two features: three of them are young, representing America and Plenty, and three others are old, symbolizing Europe and Abundantia.

In the pediment that crowns the building, a sculptural group symbolizes Light, with a central female figure placed inside a lyre, and two children at the sides.

[8] The place became a meeting point for the society of Rio Grande do Sul due to the quality of its services and products, the external beauty of the building and the sumptuousness of the internal spaces, decorated with luxury and refinement, with fairytale lighting, a furniture of tables and counters with marble tops, and cabinets of rich wood carving.
