Godoy House, Art Nouveau mansion in Independência, Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The three-story residence covers 719 square meters with ornamental elements made of masonry and iron, featuring floral reliefs and wrought iron window gratings.

Built between 1904 and 1907 for Arno Bastian Meyer, the house was later sold to merchant Francisco Tschiedel in 1926 and psychiatrist Jacintho Godoy in 1939.

From 1939 to 1959, the mansion functioned as a social hub for Porto Alegre intellectuals, with Jacintho Godoy hosting gatherings in his ground floor office.

The second floor contains interconnected bedrooms and a drawing room, while the ground level houses kitchen facilities and professional spaces.

German architect Hermann Otto Menschen incorporated imported construction technologies and Art Nouveau design elements throughout the building's interior and exterior features.
