Originally a twin farmhouse, Cësa Pigon was converted and given a new façade with red quoins and red window framing. Cësa Pigon was the seat of one of the oldest export wood carving businesses in the valley, the Riffeser company (Pigon), set up by Vinzenz Riffeser. Its foundation year is not known, but it pre-dates the First World War. At the end of the 20th century, Pigon was mainly selling imported wood carving products, and in 2012 the company shut down.

The SEVI company run by Vinzenz Senoner was (together with ANRI of Anton Riffeser) one of the most important employers in Val Gardena, with 140 employees and 200 home-based workers, and it was one of Europe's leading producers of woodcarvings. Cësa Vastlé was constructed in 1831 by Senoner's father, Josef Anton, who started exporting small wooden figurines and toys. After construction of factory premises in Pontives in 1965, SEVI company headquarters were transferred there in 1977. Nowadays, there is a new building where the old one used to be.

Around 1870, Alois (Levisc) Riffesser founded one of the first export businesses for wooden toys and souvenirs at Plan da Tieja. In 1877, he built the several-storey-high Maciaconi building as his home and company premises with shop, which was even mentioned in a poem by Leo Runggaldier about a rattling wooden toy. The building itself and Dosses square became a popular motif for engravings and historical picture postcards.

Johann Baptist Moroder, son of Josef Moroder Lusenberg and himself one of the most important Val Gardena sculptors around 1900, built Villa Venezia in 1903/04 based on his own designs for a residence in neo-Renaissance style with a balustrade featuring marble wooden columns. A sculptor's studio and domed skylight were included. The mills from Planaces farm, the forge with furnace and a sawmill used to be in front of the newly built house.

Villa Argentina is reminiscent of a 23-metre high, 10-metre-wide high altar built for a church in Cordoba (Argentina) between 1918 and 1920. In charge of construction of the altar - the largest ever built in Val Gardena - was Josef Stuflesser (Bera Pepi de Petlin), who took over the ecclesiastical art academy in J.B. Purger Street after the First World War. Stuflesser bought this house with the proceeds of the Cordoba work and moved his office and residence here.
