Casarão da Alameda Cleveland

Casarão da Alameda Cleveland is a mansion with high ceilings, wooden floors, and painted walls throughout its various rooms and galleries. The building sits in the historic Campos Elísios neighborhood and displays the architecture of São Paulo's wealthy districts from the 1890s.

The building was constructed between 1890 and 1894 and belonged to Henrique Santos Dumont, brother of aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont. Its construction took place during São Paulo's economic expansion driven by the coffee trade.

The mansion takes its name from Cleveland Avenue and once housed a wealthy family during São Paulo's coffee boom era. Today visitors can see how the rooms were arranged and understand how affluent families lived in the city during that prosperous period.

The location is within walking distance and sits in the center of an active urban neighborhood with shops and restaurants nearby. Visitors should allow time to fully explore the interior rooms and artworks throughout the building.

The building retains painted walls and decorative details from the 1890s that are rare examples of artistic craftsmanship from that era. These original ornaments display the taste and skill that wealthy families valued in their homes.
