House where Natália Correia was born (Current Casa do Povo of Fajã de Baixo)

This building dates back to the nineteenth century and before the recent works of adaptation to become the Casa do Povo seat, it was possible to see some architectural elements of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

During much of the twentieth century, it functioned as a pineapple warehouse for Sociedade Corretora, besides having been a warehouse for oranges. However, the most notable fact was the birth of the famous writer Natália Correia, on September 13, 1923, when her parents lived there and her mother was taught at the local girls’ school.

Acquired by the Regional Government of the Azores, it has been the headquarters of Casa do Povo since 2004, and has undergone several restoration works that ensure the proper functioning of the institution.
