In the second half of the nineteenth century, Guzmán Blanco undertook the transformation of Ma­cuto into a place of leisure, boosted by the 1875 construction of the first road between La Guaira and Macuto, and the opening of the rail-road connecting the port city with the beach city. Thus, Macuto became the first and most elegant seaside resort in the country, with beach homes developing in different styles. In this context, «Ciudad Guzmania», designed by Gualterio Chitty around Plaza Brión, emerges as a widening of Macuto, where a new type of housing developed, with advanced materials and construction systems. There, besides Guzmán Blanco, Joaquín Crespo built his first villa, as a gift to his wife Doña Jacinta: a mansion with two levels and a basement, which is accessed through a covered staircase. The ground floor is a square divided into nine quadrants, six of them occupied by rooms with masonry walls, two by circular stairways and center by the great hall. The square is surrounded by a perimeter gallery with wooden posts, while the upper floor is results from the extension of the square inner spaces, with hipped roofs, and the cylindrical bodies of the stairways, topped by turrets. The villa, of classic composition, displays the embossed monogram «JC» on the arches that limit the double height on the ground floor. It currently houses the Pablo Castellanos Music School.
