This building is an example of Sevillian-style architecture and features a traditional water wheel (noria) that supplied water to the house. Most of the rooms surrounding the central courtyard have been preserved. The walls combine bricks with coral stones, the floors are made of clay, and inside the building you can find an old bread oven and a cannon that was discovered near the banks of the Huitzilapan River.

In the 19th century, a hurricane covered part of the house with soil. Over time, birds planted seeds of fig trees (amates) on the roof, which grew into trees whose roots remain visible, creating a unique natural feature on the building.
