Family home of Salvador Rueda, inherited on his death by his successors. In the eighties, due to the pitiable condition of the building, close to its demolition, the  Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Telmo (the Royal Academy of Fine Arts) bought it and gave it to the City Council, who conserves it as a Museum in memory of the poet. It has undergone several restorations, preserving the flooring, original interior walls and doors. It exhibits numerous belongings of the poet and utensils and furniture of the first third of the twentieth century. Adjoining the main room are two bedrooms and a kitchen, with its small store-room, which leads to the patio. The stable can be found there. As the poet said: “a poor house”.
