Museo Casa Chihuahua

In 1908 the Casa de Moneda was demolished in order to erect the Federal Palace that finally was inaugurated in 1910, during the celebrations of the centenary of Mexico's independence.

During the revolution, Abraham Gonzalez, the deposed Governor of Chihuahua and political mentor of Pancho Villa was imprisoned there by order of the unconstitutional then-president and dictator Victoriano Huerta.

In 2004 the postal service left the building and the palace was re-modeled in order to inaugurate a museum that would be called the Casa Chihuahua Centro de Patrimonio Cultural.

The style of the building was popular during the era of President Porfirio Diaz, with both elements of neoclassicism and the French Beaux Artes.

The main entrance of the palace displays two large columns and the walls have little decoration, typical of the neoclassical style.
