Casa do Sítio da Ressaca

The Casa do Sítio da Ressaca is a Bandeirista-style building, a remnant of the Brazilian colonial period, located in the Jabaquara district of the city of São Paulo. Located on the old road to Santo Amaro. The house was built in 1719, as attested by inscriptions found on the main door and tiles. Som

e of its roof tiles are original and bear inscriptions from the 18th century, such as the date of manufacture and the name of the potter. The doors and jambs, in canela-preta, are also original. The name of the ranch is likely due to the Ressaca stream, also called Fagundes and Ressaca, that bathed its surroundings. Built with rammed earth, the house adopts an asymmetric plan, not very common in the Bandeirista residences. It has windows and doors with side lintels, while the roof is pitched in two parts.
