Casa del Cerro, Torreón

Casa del Cerro, Torreón, Historical monument in central Torreón, Mexico.

Casa del Cerro, also known as Chalet Wulff, stands on Calzada Industria west of Torreón's historic centre. Federico Wulff designed its eclectic facade, inspired by a German castle with neoclassical elements, using quarry stone brought from Durango. Completed in 1905, the house has 15 rooms and a basement, with oak floors, Italian tiles, a laundry basket connecting the bathrooms of the two floors, and a cistern.

Federico Wulff, a San Antonio-born engineer trained at the University of Hannover, bought the land on a steep hill facing the railway station in 1901 and began building in 1902; the house was finished in 1905. The Wulff family lived there from late 1904 but left the city when the Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910. From 1910 to 1917 the house was rented to the United States government for use as a consulate; the family returned in 1917 and sold it in 1924.

The building has served as the City Historical Museum since 1994, displaying furniture, weapons, clothing, and photographs from different periods. These collections tell the story of how people lived and worked in the region across generations.

The house stands on a steep hill west of Torreón's historic centre, on Calzada Industria, facing the old railway station. Its hillside position means the approach is uphill, and the museum occupies a building from 1905 with a basement and two floors reached by stairs. Visitors with mobility needs should ask about access before arriving.

The house was rented to the United States government between 1910 and 1917 and used as a consulate; the Wulff family had left the city when the Mexican Revolution broke out. They returned in 1917 and sold the property in 1924. The building later became the Museo Casa del Cerro.
