Butantã's House
Brazilian building located in the city of São Paulo. / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Butantã's House, or Bandeirante's House, is a Bandeirista-style building from the Brazilian colonial period located in Butantã, a neighborhood of the city of São Paulo;[1] representing one of the typical rural dwelling models of São Paulo, it was built around the first half of the 18th-century in an extensive area peripheral to the original urban nucleus. This house portrays an unusual example of building which follows the changes in the city of São Paulo since the first centuries of Portuguese colonization,[2] demonstrating in its architectural design and in its walls the memory of the construction processes of the colonial architecture of São Paulo, in particular of wattle and daub,[3] a technique used in the Bandeirist colonial architecture. It has 350 m2 divided among 12 rooms and front and back porches. Currently the site on which the house stands constitutes the Monteiro Lobato Square.[4][5] This space was reserved for the preservation of the property when the neighborhood was developed by the City Company.[5] During the 1950s, for the commemorations of the 4th Centennial of the city of São Paulo, the house was the object of a restoration project by Luís Saia.[6] The house was listed by the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico - CONDEPHAAT)[7] in 1982.
