Paved with hexagonal blocks, Pedro Nolasco Street is the main shopping area in the center of Coronel Fabriciano.

[1][2][3] Pedro Nolasco Street was established along with the current center of Coronel Fabriciano, which arose around Calado Station, inaugurated in 1924.

The first stores that began the commercial movement were opened in the area, formerly known as Rua de Baixo (English: Lower Street).

The presence of the main bus stop for the city's urban and interurban public transport, which attracts consumers from other neighborhoods and nearby towns, promoted the commercial development of the street.

The Casa São Geraldo (St. Gerard's House), built in 1948, was granted by Rubem Siqueira Maia, owner and resident, to serve as the City Hall's first headquarters; it also housed a clothing store, the O Brasileirão supermarket and a branch of the Costão chain of stores.
