This building possibly built in the nineteenth century but later renovated, is located on Galvn Street, close to what was the initial settlement of the first settlers of Arafo, who are credited with the exploitation of the pine forest present on the hillside for logging, hence this area is known as the sawmill. The eruption of the Arenas volcano in 1705, devastated the pine forest and the appearance of the Malpaes, caused part of the population to move further north. In 1871 the chapel of La Cruz was blessed, built at the initiative of Mr. Tom s P. rez Bencomo, in whose surroundings some historical buildings can be seen, linked to agricultural activities, and that near the street of the Cross, gave Departure to these through the old Plazuela del Llano.

One-story house, located in a corner, rectangular floor plan, in which modules have been annexed to give the whole greater volume.
The walls are made with ashlars collected in rubble inside, and collected with lime mortar.
The access is made through the patio that is in the front of the house, which is currently closed.

The set is finished off with a flat roof, protected with a blind parapet and a roughly carved stone sill.
