This building, built in 1960, has been restored keeping the elements that are intact as the concrete base and the walls of CMU. The fires occurred in the building have been captured through the new elements incorporated, using carbonized frames in doors and windows, at the same time that the facade has been composed of carbonized planks, concrete and a sliding screen of corrugated steel.
