Information

This Art Nouveau house - 1930 Builder / Architect: Captain José Inácio da Conceição - at the Rua 1* de Maio 15 is in two floors and a main facade in Urban Style, with Art Nouveau decorative elements and new construction techniques (such as concrete and steel), with a noble, traditional structure, characteristic of the type of palatial construction in urban environment of the 18th and 19th century.

Examples of this are the balustrades, bay windows, parapet. The interior, on the other hand, is rather sober and only enlivened by a few decorative elements, especially at the level of the windows. The dynamism of the outer facade is obtained by the shapes and materials used. It is one of the most original houses in Tavira.
