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

Godoy House is a three-story building of 719.39 m² on Avenida Independência, with a ground floor, second floor and attic. Its facade carries floral reliefs, wrought-iron window grilles and a bold gable over the only attic opening, with a stained-glass window above the entrance. Inside, a narrow hallway links four bedrooms and a bathroom, and the rear rooms open onto a veranda with an ornate iron balustrade.

The building was constructed between 1904 and 1907 for Arno Bastian Meyer, then sold to merchant Francisco Tschiedel in 1926 and to psychiatrist Jacintho Godoy in 1939. Each owner contributed to the house's development and significance in Porto Alegre's history.

From 1939 to 1959, the residence served as a meeting place for local intellectuals and thinkers who gathered in the owner's ground floor office. These gatherings shaped the cultural scene of Porto Alegre during that period.

The house spans multiple levels with different areas on each floor, so allow time to explore all stories and rooms at a comfortable pace. The layout and decoration help visitors understand how each space was used and its role in daily life.

The only opening to the attic is framed by a bold gable that dominates the facade, and above the front door sits a small stained glass window. Inside, decorative mural paintings survive in the main rooms, along with stained glass and some original furniture.
