Casa dos Lobos Machados - Guimarães, Portugal - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

[PT]Construída em granito da região é uma casa típica do século XVIII, cuja frontaria, em estilo rocaille, se impõe pelo relevo e equilíbrio.
Apresenta um andar térreo, lado a lado com o portal, quatro janelas amplas, com conchas lavradas na parte superior da moldura. No andar nobre, podemos ver uma correnteza de cinco varandas, de meios balaústres de ferro, assentes em graciosas mísulas. O coroamento das cinco portadas constitui um lavor de modelar leveza e maestria. Sobre a abertura do centro ostenta-se uma rica composição heráldica, lavrada em granito. Uma cornija, de recorte vigoroso e dinâmico, cinge ao cimo a frontaria, como se tratasse de um franjado.
Ao andar nobre sobrepõe-se um andar secundário, como uma espécie de mansarda discreta, um pouco recuado, com quatro janelas de sacada e rematado por um beiral.
No interior, que foi recentemente transformado, podemos ver no piso térreo um átrio e um lanço de escadas e no piso superior destaca-se o salão nobre.
Hoje em dia, destituido da sua função residencial, o edifício está ocupado pela Associação Comercial de Guimarães.
