Rancho da Maioridade, Historical rest stop on Estrada do Vergueiro in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil
Located at kilometer 47 of the old Santos road, this stone building features traditional early 20th-century Brazilian architectural elements and a water fountain.
Constructed in 1922 during Washington Luis's governorship, the building served as a strategic rest point on Latin America's first paved motorway.
The structure represents the transition from railway to automobile transportation in São Paulo state during the coffee export economic period.
The site maintains its original purpose as a rest area, offering visitors a pause point along the historical route between São Paulo and Santos.
The building includes an original water tap system that served both automobile radiators and travelers during the early days of motorized transportation.
