The Sertanista House or Caxingui House is a residence built in the middle of the 17th century in the neighborhood of Caxingui, in São Paulo. The construction, a piece from the Brazilian colonial period, shows several typical characteristics of the bandeirista house, with walls in rammed earth (a construction technique known to characterize all the buildings in the city of São Paulo from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries), a four-fluted roof, and an earthen floor.
