Quaint little wooden houses which have survived in Marilia... and some in Lácio-SP

Marilia-SP started out as a small settlement in 1924. By 1929 it was a municipality. The early houses were all built of wooden planks, a practice that continued for many decades to come. Now, they arebuilt of mortar & bricks but Marilia still boasts a few examples of this particular kind. Have a look at some of them beauties that have stood the test of time. All photos were taken by Ronaldo Ferreira. We thank him very much for the courtesy.
