Abstract: Casarão Marieta Teixeira de
Carvalho, located in São Paulo, was built
between 1878 and 1884. In addition to its
historical importance, the residence represents
a landmark of architectural innovations in
Brazil at the end of the 19th century. The
objective of this work is to present a historical
survey and the listing process, as well as
identify the elements for carrying out the
damage diagnosis necessary to guide the
intervention on the property’s facade. Much of
the restoration inside the property was carried
out in 2005 and there was a diagnosis carried
out at the time. The facade is the element that
is most worn out due to years of exposure
to the elements and vandalism, the main
causes of the damage found. In this study, the
characteristics of the facade were surveyed
and pathologies were identified to indicate
appropriate methods for intervention. To
this end, information was researched about
the history of the property and its listing
process, in addition to photographic surveys
to produce a planned image of the facade and
laboratory tests to identify the plaster mortar.
From these elements, a damage map was
produced to indicate the pathologies found.
Keywords: mapping of damage, restoration,
heritage, history.
INTRODUCTION
The object of this article is the mansion
belonging to the family of Marieta Teixeira
de Carvalho, located on Rua Florêncio de
Abreu, in the Sé neighborhood in São Paulo,
the capital. The residence was built between
1878 and 1884, at the request of the first
owner Colonel Carlos Teixeira, merchant
and politician, exponent of the São Paulo
bourgeoisie in the final sighs of the empire in
Brazil.
In addition to the historical importance
due to the antiquity of its construction, the
last with French mud in the city, the residence
also marks architectural innovations that
arrived in Brazil at that time. It was one of
the first buildings in the capital of São Paulo
to be built using masonry, a novelty for civil
construction at the end of that century. The
mansion represented the preservation of the
Portuguese aristocracy in Brazil and the rise of
a Brazilian bourgeoisie, more than a century
after the country’s independence. Built at
the end of the 19th century, the residence
preserves the modern architecture of the time
and maintains relevant characteristics of its
construction (Figure 1).

The objective of this work is to present a
historical survey and the listing process, as
well as identify the elements for carrying out a
damage diagnosis, which will justify carrying
out intervention on the facade of the property.
The experiment involves diagnosing the
state of conservation of the mansion, former
residence of Marieta Teixeira de Carvalho. In
this investigation, the history of the property,
the materials and its conservation conditions
were surveyed and the pathologies were
identified for a subsequent recommendation
of the appropriate methods for an intervention
to restore the facade elements, such as the

element that has not yet undergone any
intervention. To this end, information was
researched about the property and its listing
process, a photographic survey was carried
out and some laboratory tests were carried out
on the mortar used to plaster the facade. As a
result, in the end, a damage map that identifies
the pathologies found in the facade elements
was produced.
IDENTIFICATION AND
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE
PROPERTY
HISTORIC
In the 19th century, the coffee economy
still prevailed in Brazil, enriching landowners,
mainly in the southeast region, through
the enslavement of black men and women
brought by force from the African continent.
Brazil was the last country in Latin America
to abolish slavery and the place that received
the most enslaved people [1]. The formal
abolition of slavery dates back to 1888, after
incessant struggles by black movements. This
period is represented in the space of the slave
quarters in the Teixeira de Carvalho building,
built ten years before abolition. Originally, the
small space measured one and a half meters
high, demonstrating the difficulty in moving
around and the unsanitary conditions in
which enslaved people lived at the time.
The family’s wealth was demonstrated by
the grandeur of the construction, the explicit
demonstration of the ownership of slaves
and also by the richness of the decorations
and collection found inside the house. The
furniture and some pieces dated back to the
18th century, brought from Europe to decorate
the property. After the death of Carlos Teixeira
de Carvalho, Marieta, his heir, took great care
of the residence. This care is recognized in the
text by Carlos Lemos, architect and technical
director of the Council for the Defense of
the Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and
Tourist Heritage of the State of São Paulo
(CONDEPHAAT), which attests to the rarity
of the pieces: “rare because only the whim
of a single daughter determined to keep her
deceased father’s house intact” [2].In this
section,safe guarding the historical period, we
observed a stereotypical gender conception
that the work of caring for the home and items
of historical value would be related to the fact
that Marieta was woman and single.
Marieta died in 1975 at the age of 92,
leaving her assets to legatees established in
her will, as she had no children [3]. The house,
despite still carrying his name today, no longer
belonged to him at the time of his death. The
residence is located close to the São Bento
Monastery and with the modification of the
Santa Efigênia Viaduct restricting the passage
to pedestrians only, access to the entrance was
made difficult, no longer being able to receive
cars and cargo. Then, still in 1968, Marieta
sold part of her garden and driveway to the
Monastery and, later, donated the residence to
it. Still, she lived there until her death through
an exchange contract with the Benedictine
Order.
Soon after his death, recognizing the
historical value of the property and its
collection, a request was made by the Council
for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological,
Artistic and Tourist Heritage of São Paulo
(CONDEPHAAT) for the property to be
listed, thus making it impossible, alterations
or restorations to the building without
authorization from the Council.
The former residence of the Teixeira de
Carvalho family is one of the most important
old residential properties to survive in the
center of the city of São Paulo, however, it
is also a great example of the disregard for
São Paulo’s historical heritage. The choice of
this property as the object of this work was
based, among other factors, on its historical
3
Scientific Journal of Applied Social and Clinical Science ISSN 2764-2216
DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
importance and current state of neglect and
public abandonment.
THE TIPPING PROCESS
The technical director of CONDEPHAAT,
Carlos Lemos, presented the request to list
Marieta Teixeira de Carvalho’s house on May
19, 1975, through representation nº 1/75 –
STCR, due to the importance of the property
for the history of São Paulo . In the request for
listing, Lemos refers to the importance of his
collection and the house itself as a landmark
of an era:
There is furniture still from the first Empire
and some pieces from the 18th century, such
as a superb inlaid coffee table with bronze
inlays, and there is, what is important,
typical furniture from the end of the
century, accompanied by paintings, carpets,
decorative objects, showcases and porcelain
for domestic use, constituting, as a whole, a
rare display characteristic of a period [2].
The objects contained in the house,
therefore, characterized the wealth not only
of the family, but also of the historical context
experienced at the time. During the listing
process, all property assets and objects were
left under the responsibility of the State and
could not be modified. Marieta Teixeira
Carvalho’s inventory of objects listed more
than three hundred objects, including jewelry,
coins and others that would be auctioned
in favor of the heirs established in her will.
According to a letter sent to the executive
director of CONDEPHAAT at the time, José
Geraldo Nogueira Coutinho, by Marieta’s
executor and executor, Geraldo de Camargo
Vidigal, these objects, coins and jewelry
could be auctioned without conflicting with
the listing process of the aforementioned
property. According to the document sent
to the executive director, previous attempts
to auction Marieta’s assets had already taken
place, but were judicially prevented by
CONDEPHAAT on the grounds that these
objects constituted historical heritage. On May
25, 1977, the president of CONDEPHAAT,
Nestor Goulart Reis Filho, communicated
via letter the approval by the Council for the
listing of the property, as well as suggesting
to the State the expropriation and acquisition
of its belongings. The approval decided by
the Council ensures “the preservation of the
property until the authority’s final decision,
and consequently any change in the state
of things that could destroy, demolish,
mutilate or remove them from the original
environment without the prior authorization
from CONDEPHAAT”[4].
For the listing process, it was essential that
the house’s collection was intact from the
period in which Marieta carefully maintained
it. However, in 1976, some objects from
the residence were stolen, damaging the
historical value of the goods and the property.
In 1977, a conflict began between the heirs
and CONDEPHAAT regarding the property
in the residence’s collection. This conflict
between the Council and the legatees followed
with the refusal of the inventor and his lawyer.
As stated in the process, Vidigal stated that
the house had no belongings, as these were
inherited by people defined in the will.
According to Cassio da Costa Carvalho,
Vidigal’s lawyer at the time, the listing
process did not even exist legally, so it was
not up to the Council to appropriate the
property’s belongings. According to Federal
Decree Law No. 25, of November 30, 1937,
which deals with the protection of national
historical and artistic heritage, “the listing
of assets, as referred to in art. 6 of this law,
will be considered provisional or definitive,
depending on whether the respective process
is initiated by the notification or concluded
by the registration of the referred assets in the
competent Tombo Book” [4]. Therefore, the
Council could not appropriate the assets, nor
even prevent their auction.
4
Scientific Journal of Applied Social and Clinical Science ISSN 2764-2216
DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
To the possible heirs of Marieta Teixeira
de Carvalho was notified in a letter dated
August 3, 1977, the possibility of contesting
the listing, as well as the inventory with all the
jewelry, coins and other objects that would
be distributed among the heirs and excluded
from the listing. This way, only at this moment
would the listing process actually begin before
the law. The mishaps that occurred during
the listing process, the legatees’ objections,
CONDEPHAAT’s refusals of these objections
and the Council’s apologies for the poor
drafting or even lack of understanding
regarding some legal issues of listing resulted
in a four hundred- and forty-nine-page
process.
In this process, the Monastery of São
Bento, then owner of the property, contested
the listing with some reservations regarding
the property. According to reports, on the date
of her death, the house no longer belonged
to Marieta Teixeira de Carvalho, but rather
to the Monastery, which acquired it in 1968.
Furthermore, the Monastery was against the
listing as it would prevent the modification of
the building under the its expansion interests.
Other legatees also opposed the listing of
their belongings, with the justification that
they were inherited by will and, therefore,
belonged to them and not to the house. The
Monastery’s objection was not met, as it did
not respect procedural deadlines.
In the meantime, in April 1977, Marieta’s
assets bequeathed to her heirs by will were
auctioned, irretrievably ruining the collection,
since the State did not take advantage of its
right as preferential buyer of the objects. Even
so, the historical value of the property remains
due to its architectural importance that marks
the constructions of the 19th century. Finally,
on November 3, 1980, the then Extraordinary
Secretary of Culture, Antônio Henrique
Cunha Bueno, overturned the Marieta
Teixeira de Carvalho House. Although its
great relevance to São Paulo’s 19th century
architecture, preserved in the 20th century, is
recognized, the property is currently in a state
of deterioration and abandonment.
THE RESTORATION AND CURRENT
STATE OF CONSERVATION
After the listing, Marieta’s house was
closed and unable to be changed for more
than 20 years. While Marieta has kept the
residence intact since her father’s death, this
heritage has deteriorated significantly with
the modification of the collection auctioned
by her heirs and then with the deterioration of
the building subject to the effects of time, bad
weather and lack of maintenance. The listing,
despite being extremely important for the
preservation of São Paulo’s historical memory,
did not initially contribute to protecting
the property from the slow and continuous
process of degradation.
The lack of resources for restoration
led to the closure of the property for more
than two decades after listing. Only in 2005
did the fundraising process begin through
the Rouanet Law to encourage culture and
sponsorship by Petrobras [3]. The restoration
work was signed by Affonso Risi Júnior with a
completion date scheduled for 2007, so that,
in 2008, it could be transformed into a cultural
center linked to the São Bento Monastery.
The proposal was that the space would host
concerts, recitals and exhibitions.
During the restoration work, it was
necessary to excavate the old slave quarters
to enable movement within the room that
was previously only one and a half meters
high, exposing the infrastructure below the
walls. Furthermore, paintings of colonialstyle medallions were found under five layers
of paint on the interior walls of the mansion.
As Nilva Calixto, an artist specializing
in restoration, states, “restoration is like
archaeology, but vertically, you ‘excavate’
5
Scientific Journal of Applied Social and Clinical Science ISSN 2764-2216
DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
the wall to discover all the decorations that
the building has undergone” [5]. It is worth
noting that the restoration work was only
possible through references sought by the
architect Olívia Hiss, in charge of carrying
out the work. In this process, old photographs
helped in the process of restoring the missing
parts of the decoration.
Unfortunately, due to lack of resources,
the restoration work was discontinued, at a
point where the entire upper floor had not
been restored, as well as the exterior part
that still required painting and finishing.
The property characterized by Carlos Lemos
as the landmark of an era left behind, today,
suffers the results of public neglect regarding
the history of the State of São Paulo. In effect,
all the luxury of centuries, the product of an
economy on the rise through coffee, built
with the arduous forced labor of black men
and women, is relegated to the oblivion and
indifference of the public authorities. The
restoration of the facade is suggested as the
element that has not yet been indicated for
recovery, as the upper floor has not been
completed but has already had a diagnosis
made and intervention initiated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
The palace is an important part of the
history of the city of São Paulo due to the
innovations at the time, using brick masonry
in its construction, and is therefore an
architectural icon. Access is no longer possible
through the front facade, but through a side
setback, where there is also the driveway and
a garden built by an Italian builder, today
completely uncharacterized. On the facade,
the architecture is marked by firm and refined
lines, the hardware on the window and door
grilles remains the same, but is in a serious
state of deterioration, corroded and degraded
by the action of time and lack of maintenance.
The building is marked by graffiti and
is lost in the cluttered Center of São Paulo,
once imposing but now dirty and neglected.
The elegant building competes for space with
shops, bars and parking lots. On its side, there
are hanging products sold by neighboring
stores.
In the basement, which housed the old slave
quarters, you can see sections of the mortared
stone infrastructure, bricks that emerge from
the floor and are overlapped by the walls, also
made of baked bricks. As it was the first space
to undergo the intervention process, it is in
excellent condition, despite the presence of
rats and dirt on the concrete tile floor, which
is in very good condition (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Underground where we see the use
of brick in the infrastructure and base of the
walls
The roof, with a structured wooden
structure and French tiles, appears to have
also undergone an intervention, as it is
covered with a blanket and appears to be in a
very good state of conservation, as we can see
in Figure 3.

DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
Figure 3: View of the roof in good condition
and detail of the blanket placed below it
The front facade, which is the main object
of study in this work, still retains the beauty
and grandeur of its original construction, but
shows serious wear caused mainly by lack
of maintenance. The plaster is peeling off in
several parts and you can see the exposed
bricks. It was from this location that the
sample was taken to test the mortar used to
lay the mortar and perform the plastering
(Figure 4).
DAMAGE MAPPING
Damage mapping is a process of important
relevance for defining techniques, materials
and forms of intervention in a monument or
historic building, which therefore precedes the
development of a restoration project. Damage
mapping can be understood as follows: “Its
development consists of the careful recording
of pathologies/changes through graphic
symbols that represent the different categories
and levels of degradation identified” [6].
It is from this instrument that it is possible
to identify and locate faults and the condition
of the property that will undergo any
intervention:
[...] a Damage Map results in an important
illustrated document in that it can group
a large amount of information regarding
the quantity, quality and intensity of
damage to the materials and structures of
these constructions. Therefore, from an
operational point of view, damage maps are
effective instruments to help both in planning
restoration/conservation design guidelines
(cleaning, consolidation or even controlled
replacement of materials or extremely
degraded parts) and budget forecasts, but
they can also instruct preventive monitoring
actions to ensure the good conservation of
artifacts over time. [6]
Therefore, mapping is important for
organizing the information and observations
collected and can determine the final quality
of the data collection and property diagnosis
work.
Figure 4:Facade elements where we notice
plaster detachment
In general, the facade is reasonably
preserved, and the tests presented in section
4 prove that there are no serious agents
causing wear and tear on its elements.
Therefore, bad weather and time are the main
agents identified, in addition to the lack of
maintenance of the property as a whole.
DAMAGE MAP
The complete image of the facade, in a
vertical plane, was edited using Photoshop,
and a photographic mosaic of the facade was
produced for the reliable identification of the
facade elements and damage found on it, as
can be seen in Figure 5 below:

To execute the Damage Map, graphic
coding was carried out in detail in Table 1,
characterizing the pathologies and damage
found on the main facade of the Palace, and,
further down, in Figure 6, the representation
of the position of the damage therein.
LABORATORY TESTS AND
ANALYZES
The sample used for the tests was taken
from part of the plaster on the main facade of
the property. This was the only sample used,
mainly due to the difficulty in obtaining some
material for the tests due to the property being
listed. Three tests were carried out on the
coating sample: simple mortar test, qualitative
salt test; granulometry after acid attack and
removal of fines. All tests were carried out
in the NTPR laboratory, at the Polytechnic
School of ``Universidade Federal da Bahia``,
under the coordination of the responsible
chemist Allard Amaral.

In the simple mortar test to determine
the probable trace, standard procedures were
used, with a diluted hydrochloric acid solution
in a proportion of 1:4 in the weighed sample.
The effervescence observed was average,
only 3 crosses and the color of the solution
was greenish brown. It was also found that
with the addition of sulfate to the solution
resulting from filtration, it became cloudy,
8
Scientific Journal of Applied Social and Clinical Science ISSN 2764-2216
DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
which indicates the presence of cement in the
sample.
The color analysis of the fines, according to
Munsell’s table, was HUE 10YR 8/1 WHITE.
To weigh the elements, a 4-digit digital scale
was used and the results were recorded in a
table to calculate and determine the probable
trace of the mortar used on the facade. The
result can be seen in Table 1 below:
QUALITATIVE TEST OF SOLUBLE
SALTS
The qualitative test for soluble salts was
carried out on a sample that was ground in
a porcelain mortar with a pestle, dried in an
oven at 75° for 24 hours and weighed with
approximately 10g on an analytical balance
with two decimal places.
The first test was to check the presence
of nitrate. Visual reading demonstrated that
there was no change in the portion of the
solution to the blue color, demonstrating that
there was no presence of nitrate in the sample.
The second test was for chloride detection.
The reading was done by observing the
turbidity of the solution, which would
demonstrate the presence of salts in the
sample. A slight white turbidity was observed
in the sample, indicating a small presence of
chloride.
In the third test, which would indicate
the presence of sulfate, the result was given
by observing whether or not the sample
was turbid, and the sample became turbid,
demonstrating a reasonable presence of
sulfate.
Below, see Table 2 with the results of
qualitative tests of soluble salts present in the
sample studied:

GRANULOMETRY AFTER ACID
ATTACK AND FINES REMOVAL
The test to determine the particle size of
the sample was carried out with the coarse
residue resulting from the simple mortar test.
For this purpose, a set of sieves numbered
16, 35, 60, 100, 200 and deep was used. After
the mechanical sieving process, all samples
were weighed in their respective sieve and
the weight of each one was subtracted to
determine the final weight of each fraction of
the sieved samples. The result of the weighing
fractions can be seen in Table 3 below and its
granulometric curve in Figure 12 below:
Figure 12: Particle size curve of the studied
aggregate.
DISCUSSION AND FINAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The sample used for the tests was taken
from part of the plaster on the main facade of
the property. This was the only sample used
mainly due to the difficulty of obtaining some
material for the tests due to the property being
listed.
It was found, after all test procedures
completed, that the mortar sample collected

from the facade of the property under study
presented a reading related to its average
composition of 6.14% fine, 64.55% coarse and
29.31 % binder. Therefore, the probable mass
average mortar ratio is 1.00:0.28:2.98 lime,
clay, sand, indicating an almost standard 1:3
lime sand ratio. The small proportion of clay
found, 0.28g, probably comes from dirt in the
sand.
In the qualitative tests for soluble salts,
the absence of traces of nitrate was verified,
which is probably due to the fact that the
sample was taken from the upper part of the
facade and there were no traces of urine nor
was it close to bathrooms. The presence of
chloride indicates that there is a small amount
of salts in the sample, which is generally due
to the presence of saline aerosol when it is a
result of the proximity to the sea, which is
not the case. In the sulfate test, the presence
10
Scientific Journal of Applied Social and Clinical Science ISSN 2764-2216
DOI https://doi.org/10.22533/at.ed.216472425033
of cement was detected in the mortar sample,
which demonstrates the use of this material as
a binder.
The granulometric analysis characterizes
the aggregate as fine, medium or coarse
sand, as it corresponds to the largest amount
of material retained in the number 60 sieve,
which is 54.45% of the total coarse sand.
The color of the fines is in the line related
to whites, which, according to the Munsell
Table (HUE 10YR 8/1 WHITE), indicates that
the clay found is probably kaolinite due to its
light color.
Oliveira [7] cites as a premise for
conservation and restoration work the ideas of
the Italian architect and theorist Leon Batista
Alberti that a thorough analysis of buildings,
their defects and the way to repair them is
necessary, reminding us of the importance the
durability of building structures and materials,
especially when subjected to weathering. The
same author also instructs that “this represents
a very current perspective, which has guided
the most modern investigations into the
argument”. Therefore, it is essential to know in
order to make a responsible intervention.
The beauty of the work is unquestionable
and so is its historical value. Knowing the
history of the building and the paths taken to
recognize its value and list it was essential to
understand the importance of its preservation.
The results of the tests indicate that the
materials used in the work were correctly
applied, demonstrating their resistance
despite so many years exposed to the elements
and vandalism, the main causes of the damage
found. The damage map presented guides
the real needs for intervention on the facade
of the property, for its correct recovery and
conservation.
Despite institutional and financial
limitations, which lead to poor management
of the property and the consequent state
of degradation of the property, it would be
necessary to urgently complete the restoration
of the mansion. The structural problems of
the foundations and roofs have already been
resolved, even a large part of the interior
has already been restored, it remains to be
completed. The facade, which is the property’s
postcard, also needs urgent intervention,
and this work demonstrates its need and
importance.
