This building, humble, non-uniform, formed by different structures, has been constructed over three centuries to meet the needs of its inhabitants and users.

Its primary function has historically been residential, serving as the home for field workers for much of its history.

As a composition of several buildings, each space had its own independent entrance and different ground levels.
