Chácara Lane is a historic site located in the heart of São Paulo at Rua da Consolação number 1,024. The land was originally owned by North American Presbyterian missionary George Chamberlain. However, it was Lanton Amnesley, the father of Chamberlain's wife Mary Annesley Chamberlain, who acquired the 14,800 square meter property between the years of 1880 and 1890.

Acquisition by São Paulo City Hall and Current Use

In 1944, the São Paulo city hall acquired the property and undertook the restoration of the building, which has been in use ever since. The site was listed by the Municipal Council for the Preservation of the Historical, Cultural and Environmental Heritage of the City of São Paulo (CONPRESP) in 2004. As a remnant of an old São Paulo farm built in the late 19th century, it holds significant historical importance. Today, it forms part of the City Museum.

Visual Arts Exhibitions and Architectural Features

Since 2012, Chácara Lane has been hosting long and short-term visual arts exhibitions. When the property was purchased by the São Paulo city hall in 1944, the house, which spans around 400 m², was in a state of disrepair. The two-story house originally featured a spacious covered terrace, entrance hall, living and dining rooms, a bedroom, a billiard room, a bathroom, pantry and kitchen, as well as a bedroom for employees on the first floor. The second floor housed a hall, a suite, five bedrooms, offices, sewing and disposal rooms, another bathroom, and an additional bedroom for employees.
