Catetinho, Presidential heritage museum in Park Way, Brazil.
The wooden two-story structure features four suites, a presidential room, and a small bar connected by a long open corridor.
President Juscelino Kubitschek established this temporary residence during Brasilia's construction, with the building completed in ten days in November 1956.
The structure received its name as a reference to the Palace of Catete in Rio de Janeiro, which served as Brazil's presidential residence.
Located on BR 040 highway in Park Way, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for guided tours.
The nearby spring, named after musician Tom Jobim, inspired him to compose the samba song 'Drinking Water' during his visit.
