Su sistema constructivo ha sobrevivido a cuatro grandes terremotos, éste representa en su tipología, las construcciones típicas de Valparaíso: Una tabiquería en Roble con sistema de quincha, repellado en tierra y paja, con terminaciones en yeso; además de entablados de piso y cielo de Laurel, Pino Oregón y alerce. Dando cuenta de un contexto social, económico y habitacional de aquellos tiempos.
  Hace aproximadamente tres años, aceptamos el desafío de la rehabilitación del inmueble.
