RESUMO:

 

The Historical Center of São Luís has a beautiful architectural collection from different periods of the colonial times, mainly built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Most of the buildings consist of a type of colonial civil architecture named “sobrado” which had housing and commerce purposes – an heritage of a period of economic rise of the State of Maranhão. Among these properties, the “sobrado” belonging to the Belfort family stands out. Located in Largo do Carmo, it is an emblematic example of the Luso-Brazilian architecture which, in Maranhão, presents unique characteristics.

The construction was built in the second half of the 18th Century by Lourenço de Belfort, an Irishman who moved to São Luís in 1736, in order to carry out economic activities related to farming and trade, in addition to taking an important role in local politics, obtaining political influence in society and accumulating wealth.

Currently, the building is a property of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia. It is abandoned and in an accelerated process of deterioration, mainly due to lack of use and inadequate interventions. Thus, recognizing significant attributes and values to be preserved, in addition to the fact that it is located in a protected area, both at the federal and state levels, an intervention is necessary to preserve this monument and ensure its integrity for future generations. Therefore, this work aims at the restoration and requalification of the Sobrado dos Belfort, enabling a use that is appropriate for the building, that values its physical structure, at the same time that it adds to the revitalization of the region in which it is located.
