[8][5] In 1930, José de Pinho died and his heirs kept the mansion for residential purposes until 1970, when the last family members to live there passed away.

[7] In 2010, the Federal Court ordered the municipality to restore the mansion, which was in a "serious process of deterioration, including a previous history of partial collapse".

The lawsuit was filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) after the restoration work was suspended in 2006 due to lack of funds.

"[11] In 2011, the restoration work was completed at a final cost of R$7.8 million, including R$3.8 from companies such as Vale and Eletrobras through the Rouanet Law; the rest of the funds came from the city government.

At the time, a R$5 million restoration project was underway to provide a space for artistic activities related to the department's Center for Arts, Culture and Education (Nace).

The composition in full arches with straight or depressed lintels, the notched or slightly projecting iron balconies, the tiled cladding are found in buildings from the colonial and imperial periods, but in this case a wooden cut-out is added."

It was also noted that "the tiles on the facade are, from the point of view of color and composition, among the most beautiful of the period, and there are only two similar examples in the city, both poorly preserved.
