I knew this building in Rua Ivens, north of the Jardim Municipal (municipal garden), for many years.
But had never aroused my attention to the top floor which has a different architecture in Funchal.

I find this old building in a Funchal road, in Rua da Carreira. I don't know it's history but I believe that have a family blazon, like you see on the top of the door. Today, I think this house no have no one to live. At least that is what appears. It's another building with architectural and historical value to the city.

Not all buildings are the same, nor their tops are similar.

This is a different view from Funchal city and show buildings and roofs near the the Avenue (do Mar e das Comunidades Madeirenses) which is further south.
