Description: History of the restoration and renovation works of the colonial house located in the heart of Cartagena's Historic District. The Casa Estanco del Tabaco is a true architectural jewel within the old city of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. "In 2007, the new owners of 35-35 Calle Estanco del Tabaco commissioned me to research and write the architectural and social history of their house based on material in the city archives. The main motive was to serve as documentary support for the restoration of the property, directed by Gloria Patricia Martinez Vaca. (Moisés Álvarez Marín)"--Page 10.
