The house at Quinta da Boavista has basically three construction dates.

1. The original house, the ’Casa do Feitor’ of the property called Quinta da Boavista, property of the Benedictine Order of the Convent of S. Francisco, with spatial typologies (relatively reduced compartments, ceiling height less than 3m) and constructive (exterior walls folded with 80cm thickness, wooden partitions or stakes in the interior) among others, that show that the date of its construction is in the XVIII century, and its use as a farmhouse.

2. Quinta da Boavista and the house were acquired by the 1st Viscount of Trevões, Emídio José Ló Ferreira at the end of the XIX century, who ordered the recovery and expansion works of the existing body, with the construction of the great glazed balcony to the East. The expansion was initiated by the Viscount in 1905 (as recorded in the decorative stone of the cornice), in the typology of ’Brazilian House’, with high ceilings and larger spans, walls in granite perpianho plastered, topped with pilasters, cornices and platbands in granite masonry. The compartments have more generous dimensions that end, to the South, in a party room with about 140m2 that opens to a balcony (veranda) in granite with balusters guards and staircase of honor, in granite masonry.

3. In 1931, the Quinta and the House are bought by Francisco António Teixeira, recently returned from Brazil, who finished the work (as can also be read in the decorative stone of the cornice), with the construction of the body (3) that will house the kitchen, storage, and the caretaker’s house.
