Chico Mendes' house, Heritage house in Xapuri, Brazil
The wooden residence at 487 Batista de Moraes Street contains four rooms connected by a lateral corridor, following traditional Amazonian construction methods.
Environmental activist Chico Mendes spent his final moments in this house before his assassination in December 1988, marking a turning point for conservation.
The building represents a typical meia-morada floor plan from early Brazilian colonization, with a central corridor separating social and private areas.
The structure features elevated foundations, vertical wooden planks, and steep clay tile roofing that provides natural ventilation in the Amazonian climate.
A blood mark remains on the kitchen door wall from the night of Mendes' assassination, serving as physical evidence of this historical event.
