Description

An elegant mansion built in the early Twentieth century. As several of the Sao Paulo coffee barons began to diversify their investments into manufacturing and a rising class of entrepreneurs developed, they moved to the city. Many of their "art nouveau" mansions with marble steps and high iron gates still remain today as a testimony of this era. With industrialization, the city of Sao Paulo was transformed by the early Twentieth Century into a booming metropolis.Uma mansão elegante construída no início do século vinte. Como muitos dos barões do café de São Paulo iniciaram a diversificar seus investimentos em manufaturados e uma classe de empresários se desenvolveu, eles se mudaram para as cidades. Muitas das suas mansões ao estilo "art nouveau" com escadas de mármore e altos portões de ferro ainda hoje permanecem como testemunhas desta era. Com a industrialização, a cidade de São Paulo foi transformada no início do século vinte em uma metrópole em constante crescimento.
