Built from the scratch to house several families, the so-called “income building” knew a booming development in the first half of the eighteenth century. One may say that it was during the reign of D. João V that were laid the foundations of the urban multifamily housing, later systematized with the pombaline “income building”. In this geographical and chronological context stands out the common three/four storeys building with two dwellings per floor that may be regarded as a pre-modern invention and is the heart of this article.
