The building housed from 1868, the old Brazilian Mint, which operated in it until 1983. It is a jewel built in Neoclassical style with gneiss stone by the engineers Antonio Pinheiro Guimarães Francisco and Teodoro Antonio de Oliveira. Access is given through a portal of classical composition with three pediments on the same facade, a solution which gives a palatial grandeur to the building.
