Mário de Andrade House, Historic residence in Santa Cecília District, São Paulo, Brazil.

Mário de Andrade House is a two-story brick residence on Lopes Chaves Street with an eclectic architectural style designed by Oscar Americano in the early 1920s. The building displays features from various architectural traditions common to Brazilian construction of that period.

Mário de Andrade moved into the house on Lopes Chaves Street in 1921, after his widowed mother sold the family home at Largo do Paiçandu and bought the semi-detached townhouse. He lived there until his death from a heart attack on 25 February 1945. The property is listed by CONDEPHAAT and CONPRESP and has belonged to the São Paulo State Secretariat of Culture since 1990.

This house served as a meeting place for modern artists like Tarsila do Amaral and Anita Malfatti during the 1920s. The gatherings here fostered dialogue between writers and painters that shaped Brazilian art of that era.

The house now operates as a cultural center offering free courses in literature, music, and theater along with regular exhibitions. Visitors should check the current program in advance, as the workshops and events available change throughout the year.

The house holds a museum collection with Mário de Andrade's glasses, unpublished letters and leather briefcase, opened when the house reopened for the 70th anniversary of his death in 2015. In April 2017 it launched "O berço do samba", marking 80 years of his studies of São Paulo samba, with historic photographs of Inocêncio Tobias and his family of the Mocidade Camisa Verde e Branco.
