The old house where I was born and the new Library  This photo was taken on October 14, 2000

(1) The house where I was born has three divisions: the kitchen with  the oven where the first  bread I ate was cooked,  and a fireplace. One small room where I slept with my brother and my parents bedroom where I was born,  on september 5th, 1926.

(2) Contiguous to the house where I was born,  the part that was  used as corrals for the cows and food for the animals  has been  adopted for a suit for the caretaker of the Library-Museum. The  old characteristics of these buildings  have been preserved truthfully.

From the east looking towards the west, seeing the connection of the  old house into the library, showing also the first and second floor

(3) The modern Library has a connecting covered corridor to the house where I was born. The Library has a  front of twenty feet high,  with two floors with shelves for books and has air conditioned.

(4) The courtyard-garden has a Replica of Dighton Rock (made of fibroglass)  and one cherry tree in honor of my father. During the last century there were many cheery trees in this part of the village,  and  because of that my father's nick name was "O Cerejeiras" or "Mr. Cherry Tree".

The west side of the old house. This  is the part with  the corral and food for the animals.  This area  will be adapted into a suit for the caretaker of the library-Museum. 

Between this building and the Library a cherry tree will be planted  in honor of my father's nickname.
