Between 1966 and 1970, the building underwent restoration work, and from then on it housed the Sertanista Museum, with a collection dedicated to indigenous culture, which remained there until 1987.

However, the year 1843 was found marked on the roof tiles and its architectural structures date back to the bandeirista houses built in the 17th century.

[2] According to the study conducted by architect Luís Saia, the building would correspond to a rural residence of the richest farmers of the region at the time.

The rammed earth method of the time consisted of adding a mixture of clay, cattle dung, and pebbles to a wooden form to assemble what would become the walls.

This layout was defined in a strict and rigid manner that said much about its occupants; with a border strip, which had on its sides the chapel and the guest room, the bandeirantes marked a boundary between their private and public lives.

It was common to give preference to high points and, when the topography was not favorable for the construction of houses, artificial platforms were created.

[2] In addition, the Sertanista House has a privileged position on the map, as it is located about 150 meters from the right bank of the Pirajuçara Stream.

In this way, the Sertanista House serves as another object of architectural study for scholars to have access to buildings from the time of the bandeirantes in São Paulo.

The building remained closed for quite some time for further restoration, decupinization and storm water drainage,[1] and then reopened in 2013 for an exhibition by artist Sandra Cinto.

[5] In 2016, people who were interested had access to enter historic properties for the Heritage Journey, a place in which they could explore the materials left behind.
