House of the great poet Ramos Sucre

Hello architecture and design loving community. Nice to greet you and wish you a happy and blessed start of the week. On this occasion I share with you a building known as the Ramos Sucre house. It is noteworthy that in this house lived José Antonio Ramos Sucre, the great poet of the literary history of Venezuela. This house is located in the historic center of the city of Cumaná, Venezuela.
The house of Ramos Sucre is about 180 years old, this young poet lived in it until he was 9 years old, then he went to the city of Carupano, where he finished part of his studies, then returned to the city of Cumaná, with 15 years old he finished high school at the Antonio José de Sucre high school and then moved to the city of Caracas where he finished his university studies.
The house has been remodeled on several occasions but maintaining the original design, it is worth mentioning that the wooden columns have been repaired and the floor of the entrance is the only one that is preserved in its original form the other with small arrangements but maintaining part or a large percentage of what was the original design. The bed, the table are original from the time when the poet lived in this house according to information provided by the guide of the place.
The Ramos Sucre house has a white and pale yellow main facade. In addition, it has a tall wooden door with two rectangle-shaped wings at the front entrance. As I have explained in previous posts the houses located in that area used the high doors because sometimes visitors brought horses.
It also has two main wrought iron grilles in the shape of a square with two wooden windows. The railings are white
It should be noted that the internal doors and windows of the Ramos Sucre house are made of wood and are very well preserved and polished. They have a rectangular shape but with a semiarch at the top.
In the hallway of this house there are several shelves with literary works written by this great poet from Sucre. Also on the wall there is a space with several portraits of the genealogical album of this poet.
It is a house that in spite of having been built many years ago is very well preserved.
Visiting the house of the great poet from Sucre was a great experience, who motivates us through his writings to immerse ourselves in the wonderful world of literature, a universe full of light and hope.
Until the next tour

I was struck by the big doors in case they brought horses in, I had never thought of that. Must have been a great house at the time. Thanks for sharing 😁
Hello dear, certainly that curious fact also caught my attention at first, whenever I passed through the historic center of Cumana I saw that the houses had wide and high doors until one day on a field visit I asked the guide why that size. He explained to me that it was because both owners and visitors had horses and to facilitate their entrance the doors had to be that way.
It is a beautiful house and I am very glad that it has been preserved, I get the impression that the poet was from a wealthy family because of the style of the house.
The back of the bed is impressive, which reinforces my idea that they had money. I would never have guessed what the purpose of the big doors was, everything has a reason for being.
Thanks for sharing, nice post. @virgilio07
