La Pedrera means "Quarry" because of its stone like appearance the building gives, it was originally called Casa Mila.
La Pedrera was constructed in 1906 to house apartments & offices, however the owner had difficulty renting the apartments because prospective tenants thought they would have problems furnishing the rooms as they were irregularly shaped. No two windows look alike, each of which is different from the other.
