1872 River House — backstory

Backstory

Left ruined after a 2008 fire, the 1872 townhouse was resurrected by architect Adriana Floret, who anchored modern concrete into original granite masonry.

1872 River House — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Mornings bring warm pastéis de nata and regional cheeses in the river lounge, which turns to quiet glasses of port by dusk.

The neighborhood

Perched directly on Ribeira's historic cod fishers' wall, the doorstep opens onto medieval riverside alleys leading toward the Dom Luís I Bridge.
