Houses of the Mayorazgo de Guerrero, Colonial mansions in Centro Historico, Mexico City, Mexico.
Two identical buildings constructed with tezontle stone facades and white stone details stand at Moneda Street numbers 16 and 18, facing the National Museum of Cultures.
The mansions, built in the 16th century by Juan Guerrero de Luna's family, maintained their ownership through a Spanish Crown concession during the Viceroyalty of New Spain.
The eastern mansion housed Jose Guadalupe Posada's workshop from 1852 to 1913, while the main building later became the National Conservatory of Music.
The buildings contain offices of the National Institute of Anthropology and History's Archaeological Coordination, with the eastern house designated for commercial activities.
The corner reliefs feature sun and moon imagery, connecting to a tale about a viceroy who demolished and rebuilt a mansion as a symbol of enduring love.
