Fishermen neighborhood was demolished at the end of the 19th century and new streets were opened, wider and paved with stone pavers. Correos Street was one of them. The fact that the Fishermen's quarter had been here since the Middle Ages, and not on the coast, was due to fear of attack by pirates.

Once the Fisherman neighborhood disappeared in 1890, the urban reforms continued. Houses were built for the bourgeoisie with electric elevators (before they were steam), electric light, private bathrooms; and also telephones, which had appeared in Valencia for the first time in 1883.
