| Abstract | |
The architecture of country scenes of the nineteenth century is treated from ten copies of head houses and buildings related to the processing of coffee farms located in the City of Casa Branca, in the northeast of São Paulo, a region known as the Hinterland of Rio Pardo. The study presents reflections on the cultural influences of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, mainly, and aesthetic considerations in relation to neo-classicism and eclecticism. The methodology is based on fieldwork, the literature review and research of primary documents and oral sources. It discusses the architecture of nineteenth-century Sao Paulo and local peculiarities revealed in the farms considered as a corpus of research, founded between 1830 and 1900, which had its history linked to the coffee culture at some point in their conformation. Each of the ten farms is presented separately, with description of the architectural and materials and construction techniques employed, with emphasis on examining the characteristics of the architectural layout of the houses headquarters. Since the farms founded by migrant miners, ranchers and farms, till those founded as coffee plantations by rich families from São Paulo, all have very interesting architectural features and show together, the type diversity of the rural architecture of São Paulo.
