In this house was founded the Architects College of Havana in 1916, it is probably the most valuable house of Tacon street. The L plant is developed as it was usual around a central courtyard to what it can be accessed through a gallery next to the hallway.
The façade of great simplicity ends immediately under the balcony with a small roof that surrounds all the façade, even, turning over the corner. The premises are of a very low prop and the mezzanine is located among them. The upper floor shows the most valuable roofs of colonial domestic architecture with Modejar influence.
The richness of its design is extraordinary, as well as, the ability of the builders due to the trapezoidal shape that takes in some places of the house.
