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 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.
