Casa do Grito, Historical house museum in Parque da Independência, Brazil

Casa do Grito is a residential house in São Paulo's Parque da Independência that displays traditional pau-a-pique construction methods with a rectangular footprint. The building was carefully restored with reconstructed period details and now operates as a museum to interpret the architecture and daily life of that era.

The oldest document mentioning the house dates from 1844, when it was built of pau-a-pique. It was expropriated in 1936 and remained semi-abandoned until 1955, when the Brazilian Geographical Society and the newspaper A Gazeta campaigned for its restoration ahead of the city's 4th centenary. It was listed by CONDEPHAAT in 1975, restored again in 2007–2008 and reopened on 7 September 2008.

The name comes from D. Pedro I's cry of "Independence or Death" on 7 September 1822, not from Pedro Américo's painting, though the 1955 restoration added a false window to match the canvas. Inside, panels titled "Relatos e Fotografias dos Antigos Moradores" show photographs and texts on former residents such as Daniel Tavares de Oliveira and Antonio Tavares de Queiroz.

The house is located in Parque da Independência near other cultural sites and opens to visitors on several days each week. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the park has uneven terrain and varied ground surfaces.

A false window was added during the 1955 restoration to align the facade with the historical painting's depiction. This detail shows how the preservation of the site became intertwined with the artistic memory of independence.
