Located on the 61 by 62 street, it was one of the first homes that were built in Merida. It still conserve remains that show how the living was in the first decades of Merida.
There still remains some embedded wood where the horses were tied after they pulled the carriages.

One of the owners was Ms. Aurora Caceres de Guerra, descendant from Amira Hernandez Guerra de Cervera, ex-president and ex- judge of the superior justice court.

The building was reformed by 1915, there it lost the corner stone carved balcony. Year later was purchased by the Solis Aznar family.

The casona was built by the conqueror Mr. Alonzo Lopez de Herrera, then was owned by Mr. Juan de Argaiz, and by the middle of the XIX century was purchased by the Guerra family, one of the most important families of Yucatan.

In the upper floor, that in the beginning was the living house were installed the agriculture credit union, public accountant offices and other business, as well as a student shelter, in this days it is used as an office building.

This old building was constructed where a little mound used to be, it is believed that this mound was in fact a dirt covered ancient mayan monument hiden by the jungle and eroded by time.

It is said that in the first years of the colony, the local governors offered to the people a “solar´´ (that is a big piece of land) if they helped to deforest and to flatten the land, but where the main plaza stands today was a big mound called the “kues´´, this elevation was an adoration site for the ancient mayan idols.
This area was cleaned, flattened and deforested by Mr. Alonzo Lopez, he received 4 solares as payment, and helped to keep all the streets straight.

So, the first owner of the land where the louver parking lot is today was Mr. Alonzo Lopez, political brother of Francisco de Montejo, governor of the city of Merida by the curt of Spain on June 14 1543.

Never the less Mr. Lopez did not destroyed the mound, because there is data that it existed in 1579, but in 1611 the nex owner of the land Mr. Juan de Argaiz, included in his testament a big house or “casona¨ located on the corner of the property, where he declared the “mayorasgo” this was that the older son inherited the property.

It remained like this for many generations, until the middle of the XIX century when it was purchased by the Guerra Family.
In the beginning of the XX century was installed in the lower floor “THE LOUVRE CAFÉ“, it became famous because it never closed, it was open day and night.
