[2] The Brunet-Calaf House occupied the western third of a block next to the church and the main plaza of Manatí.

This building agglutinates a diversity of stylistic tendencies which were common to Manatí's architectural history between 1850 and 1910.

It well can be said that the Brunet-Calaf House is a compendium of the towns evolving building and crafts tradition during the second half of the nineteenth century.
