The information for this study was obtained from volumes 773 and 774 of Obras Públicas en General, in the Archivo del Antiguo Ayuntamiento de México. These documents contain a complete register of the architectural activities undertaken as public works or private homes from 1780 to 1805. It was hoped that a thorough study of the Obras Públicas en General would provide interesting data for the urban history of Mexico City and, more specifically, for the history of art and architecture in the federal capital.
