 On this street we find the mansion that passed from Don Pedro José de Lámbarin to General Francisco Montes, and now to an unidentified private owner.
Some of the homes here retain the simplicity of the first houses in San Miguel. Here we also find the former property of Mario Moreno (Cantinflas), once home to Independence heroes the brothers Ignacio and Juan Aldama.
Another house here was, as historical records have it, built in the eighteenth century as the home of María Antonia de Petra de Sauto y Jáuregui. A sober exterior belies a high-cielinged entrance hall, a beautiful vaulted niche in the stairway to the second floor, and one of the most impressive colonial courtyards in the city. This property eventually passed into the hands of Gracia and Belén Zavala.
Then we have the house formerly marked number 38, the place where former president General Anastasio Bustamante lived out his final days. |
