[1][2] The urbanization of Salvador in the 20th century led to the reduction of the property and grounds of the Casa de Azulejo.

A large part of the land was used for the construction of the high-rise Prisco Paraíso Building, which also required an alteration of a back corner of the house.

[2] The Casa de Azulejo is built of mixed masonry of stone and brick on a rectangular plan.

[1] The Casa de Azulejo retains its patio and front staircase that connects the main floor directly to the garden.

Residential gardens were common in Bahia in the 19th century, both for leisure and ventilation; few examples remain in Salvador.

[1] The Casa de Azulejo were listed as a historic structure by the Artistic and Cultural Institute of Bahia (IPAC) in 2002.
