The project by Nicola Bigaglia, approved in 1899 (after its presentation to the municipal council of Lisbon) for Adolfo de Lima Mayer, began construction partially from existing funds.

[1] Bigaglia, an Italian architect who worked in Portugal at the turn of the century, situated the project along the Avenida da Liberdade.

[1] In 1923, the Avenida Palace Clube was installed within the building by its owners, the firm of Júlio de Resende Lda., who expanded the terrace.

[1] The facade is surmounted by a cornice supported by corbels adorned with acanthus leaves, preceding a simple articulated parapet with balustrade.

[1] The internal spaces are partitioned and organized from two straight staircases (one main and one service), directly adjoining the rectangular compartments.
