History of the Hacienda of San Antonio Clavería

[edit]

The Hacienda of San Antonio Clavería was formed in the last third of the 17th century. Its first proprietor to be known was Domingo Bustamante, a Spaniard. This hacienda was in the limits of the borough of Azcapotzalco (in those days the pueblo Azcapotzalco) and even the Tacuba area. When Bustamante died, the Hacienda was bought by a man surnamed Otero for a large sum of money.

The hacienda barely managed to stand the fierce wars in Mexico in the 19th century. By the 20th, it was converted into a wheat barn, which didn't help the building's architecture.

It was restored in 1951. The institute arrived in 1967.
