The Two Brothers
The farm "Mangafue"-it was called that way- was passing along years by different owners, one of them, Marcos Drapple, who, in February 1834, was offerin for sale to a Salting House called "Los Dos Hermanos" (The Two Brothers), located 3 ½ miles from Montevideo. The edification consisted of two buildings, one of sixteen rooms, a store, a slaughter, a "barn raised" for storing hides, tallow, wool and grains, and a large warehouse with eaves to desalinate; the other one with a wooden trellis to stack the meat, with four doors of ventilation and a stable.
