The architectural restoration work of the house of the Rivas Mercado family began in 2008 when the property - cataloged by the National Institute of Fine Arts - was awarded by the Government of Mexico City to the Fundación Conmemoraciones 2010 A.C. through a revocable temporary permit. The architectural restoration project was the work of the architect Gabriel Mérigo and the supervision and placement of English floors of encaustic mosaics of the restorer Luciano Cedillo. The intervention made it possible to recover the original values of the Rivas Mercado House, which was in serious deterioration and at risk of demolition. Some of the works carried out were: the removal of additions outside the complex, demolition of the annex building reclined in the monument, elimination of microflora, parasitic fauna and alterations to the original construction system; restoration of quarrying, remolding, grafting and substitutions; as well as restoration and rehabilitation of wooden, blacksmith and decorative elements.
