The construction, a piece from the Brazilian colonial period, shows several typical characteristics of the bandeirista house, with walls in rammed earth (a construction technique known to characterize all the buildings in the city of São Paulo from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries), a four-fluted roof, and an earthen floor. The re-entrant porch, also a typical characteristic of the bandeirista houses, is limited on one side by a wall, and on the other side, by a small compartment.
