The space Eighteenth-century palace house on Calle Bolsa, whose ground floor housed the Almacén del Reloj, a property owned by León de Argüeso. The first documented date referring to León de Argüeso in Sanlúcar is 1831, the year in which he acquired half of a house/warehouse located on Calle de las Cruces, where a refining and grocery store called "Almacén del Reloj" had been operating for a long time, named after the sundial located on the building's façade. Between 1845 and 1847, Argüeso acquired the other half of the property, and in 1856 he also acquired the adjoining house on Calle de las Cruces, which had been owned by the Dominican convent of Madre de Dios, leaving both properties unified into a single estate. The property, located on the corner of Cruces and Bolsa streets, opened doors onto both streets. The ground floor was subdivided into three areas: a tavern, a grocery store, and a large back room for storage. The residential area was located on the main floor, and the area reserved for service and warehouse employees was on the second floor. The house was the first commercial and residential establishment in Argüeso and became the center of its businesses, where he lived the rest of his life with his three nephews, the store clerks and the servants. After his death, the establishment continued to operate with his heirs for a few years. In 1895, in addition to Francisca Díez and Juan Argüeso, nine other Montañeses were registered at the house: three single women and six men. In the early 20th century, the property was rented by Francisco Morante Sardina from Palencia to set up his warehouse, and later the premises housed the “Herederos de Antonio Ridruejo” bank, run by Casimiro Barrero Laya. There is currently no commercial establishment in the house, which was rebuilt in the 1890s by the heirs of Argüeso.
