Description
Founded in 1868 by the politician and journalist from Porto Anselmo de Morais, its initial headquarters were at Bonjardim Street, and later they moved to the current address at Formosa Street. This four storey building, recuperated for housing with a project by the studio of Garcia-Albuquerque, mirrors, in the space today kept as a garage and parking lot, the place where once the printing office and machines were fully working during the golden days of this industrial nave. Once small palace and high school, this place is emblematic of the historical and cultural construction of the city of Porto. In 1983, it was acquired by the Encadernação Manuel Ferreira & Silva, fulfilling for a few more years its function and the importance of the graphic arts industry in the north of the country.
