Hacienda Kochol

[7] For many years after the foreclosure, the principal house was used as a storage facility by Banco Nacional de Crédito Rural (BANRURAL).

[8] When the hacienda was functioning, the compound consisted of the main house, the chapel, the company store,[9] the foreman's home,[5] and the powerhouse, or building in which the machinery operated.

All of the buildings were grouped around the rectangular principal park and the workers lived on the grounds in typical Maya-style houses.

[6] All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937.

His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.
