The place is called El Peñón del Fraile, I was consulting with the neighbors and its name is due to a legend that exists in the town. Near the sea there is a large rock that bears that name since due to natural causes it has shapes that resemble a Friar, so in that town there are several tourist establishments that bear this name. At the end of the publication I leave the link in case you are interested in the story is very beautiful.
The house was so destroyed that the restoration consisted of exposing some fragments of the old construction that remained almost intact. In these fragments we can observe the decorative resources in fashion for the time: wallpaper, moldings, lintels, as well as the material used for the construction. I searched tirelessly for images of the previous state of the house, without success, but it is most likely that it was used as a warehouse for some trade in the area in the years prior to its reconstruction.
The architecture of the house belongs, as mentioned above, to the colonial style of Venezuela. It is specifically of a civil and urban type, characterized by the use of large windows and doors due to the great height of the walls, eaves, corridors, central patio, use of large columns, rustic floors, hallway (as an entrance), roofs composed of beams and beams and covered by clay tiles. The aesthetics of this type of architecture is sober, robust and simple. The materials usually used were adobe, wood, tapia, clay and iron.
