It is part of the inventory of historical and religious buildings registered as an Inventário do Património Imóvel dos Açores (English: Inventory of Heritage Buildings of the Azores) dating back to the eighteenth century.

[1] The watermill/house is a two-story structure, with only the residential floor visible from street-level, with an outdoor oven (constructed in a semi-circular shape) and rectangular chimney (on the left-side of the building).

[1] This simple structure was built from local volcanic rock and stone from other ruins, and painted lime white.

The spans are composed of curved wicker, and the windows are guillotine-style single-pain double-hung sash.

One of the exterior walls shows signs of the watermill's function, and site of the waterwheel.
