I'm not sure who it belonged to this magnificent home and what was your role in society Coimbra, but it is magnificent and is located in a great place.
Those who know something more about this building, feel free to comment here anything to help inform.
Like much of the vacant buildings in this country, this also did not escape the vandal hands of drug users and other unoccupied life!
Location: Next to the Forum Coimbra in English Guard Street

I had been through this so many times cane and never stopped me draw attention. I never thought to come “see it” inside. Great record, Pedro!!
My father came to shave the home owner, many years ago.
The owner of the house was my grandfather and was called Joaquim Gonçalves Junior Rama, e esta casa era a Qta. Guard English No. 1 in Coimbra. The house was lost in court as a matter of inheritance…
It is a great sadness to see the house that was and what is now….
Give me very sad to see such a beautiful building of the terms of this, every time you step near the forum appear to me a number of ideas to recover, but who can not act, unfortunately I left my imagination.
It's true it's a shame the fifth stand as is, but life has these things.
This house is not inhabited since the beginning of the year 50, year that was lost in court as a matter of inheritance.
It is a fifth Mansion, with large rooms and an indoor garden. At the foot, I understand passing the steam train that I think should go to the center of Coimbra.
Joaquim, the train passes by yes but on the other side of the river. I think that never got beyond the side where the farm is.
A casa de que fala não deve ser a mesma das fotos. Tenho ideia de lá ter estado de visita, com a minha avó, em criança, talvez no final dos anos setenta.
In 1988 ou 1989 I lived on the first floor for a year with my parents. The floor had been rented. I remember we had one neighbor above and homemade (an elderly couple who lived in the adjacent house. So I lived there for a year and year phaco idea who the landlord.
Procuro informação do meu ancestral Joaquim Herédia casado com Maria Luiza Galinari…pai da minha avó Luz Divina Herédia. Se alguém tiver informações me passem por favor.
If they had more photos of the fifth of the English Guard, grateful that I could send.
Thanked, if they had more photos on the English Quinta Guard, but that in Coimbra send. He would like to see as is currently the fifth inside.
Tenho uma vaga ideia de em criança lá ter entrado com a minha avó, de visita a uma senhora que lá morava e que bordava colchas de Castelo Branco
Boa tarde.
Penso que esta casa era da família de um antigo professor das farmácias.
