Haus Rusina is named after Rusina Vinatzer, who had it built in 1887 and set up her shop on the ground floor, where she sold carved wooden souvenirs for the emerging tourist trade. It still stands today. The Austrian photographer, Emil Terschak, had his first atelier in the house from 1894 to 1900, which, after his move to Cortina, was taken over by the photographer Dominik Holzknecht. From 1955 to 1961, 'Radio Ladin de Gherdëina' radio station broadcast from Haus Rusina.

Originally a twin farmhouse, Haus Pigon was converted and given a new façade with red quoins and red window framing. Haus 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 Gröden, with 140 employees and 200 workers from home, and it was one of Europe's leading wood carving producers. Haus 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 Dossesplatz square became a popular motif for engravings and historical picture postcards.

The several-storey building was built in 1890 by the sculptor and publisher Anton Sotriffer. He opened a store selling general groceries here in 1920/21 that also sold wood carvings and wooden toys sourced from different producers in the valley and partly painted himself. An innovative spirit, Sotriffer experimented with new materials and products during the crisis between the two world wars. Sotriffer's shop still exists today.
