Liberdade 191-193

The building in question is located in a corner lot between Avenida da Liberdade and Rua Barata Salgueiro.

Built in a late-romantic style, this palace has constructive elements inspired by the relevant beaux-arts, namely the detail of the iron and steel pieces and the originality of its interior decoration.

With a rectangular floor plan, the palace consists of 4 floors and a tower. Even though there is no precise record of the uses of the interior space, it can be said with some certainty that the basement floor, which is located just below the level of Avenida da Liberdade, was intended for service spaces, the ground floor and the first floor were the noblest spaces, intended for leisure activities (living, dining, library, etc.) and bedrooms, and the attic floor would be used for the servants' quarters.

The building stands out for the volume of the square tower that chamfers the Northeast angle of the building, with a truncated pyramidal roof torn on three of its faces by perfectly arched windows, topped by a triangular pediment. In the remaining building, the roof is made of a four-pitched mansard roof, interrupted by glasses and rear windows. The roof is covered with black French tiles.

The building was developed in accordance with the good practices of the time and the ground floor is raised by about half a floor, so that the house does not suffer from humidity problems.

Over the years, the building has undergone some changes. Namely, at the level of the main façade, in the tower (process 6475 of 1890, for example).
