Located on a corner plot, Villa Julia is a detached villa surrounded by gardens, with a «U» shaped layout with perimeter corridors, organized around a central courtyard defined by iron stanchions with ornate capitals in the same material. The Villa, previously known as «The Iron House», was the first building constructed in El Paraíso. Property of the Caracas Tramway company, it was acquired by engineer Roberto Garcia in 1914, who changed its name to Villa Julia in honor of his wife. The dwelling’s image and formal rigor come from a constructive system called the «Danly system», developed by Belgian engineer Joseph Danly and patented in 1885. The system uses panels that, together with other components, achieve structural resistance by folding printed sheets of convex geometrical designs and embossed galvanized sheets. The Villa, which is related to traditional housing models in agricultural areas, has an access hallway as a transition area between inner and outer corridors. On the front and lateral façades, the perimeter corridors can be seen in the foreground, and the presence of embossed tiles, unlike the upper cover, built the zinc sheets. There are two rotating vanes in the roof indicating wind direction and an iron crest with curved designs and arrows. Villa Julia was declared a cultural interest site in 2009.
