Changes After Construction
By the beginning of the 20th century, the structure was among the endowed buildings that could be leased out.
The structure was used as a residence for a long period; this use increased the risk of alterations in the interior.
In 2015, its restoration was completed through a municipal implementation.
After the restoration, the structure was reopened for use.
