here is a question for the explorer experts - how many more buildings in the style of the Casona San Miguel, Casona Altamirano, Casona San Bruno,
Casona de la Toba (Timbabichi) do you know? All built in the 1920's

Maybe show an example of what "casona" is or photos of the places you mentioned?

you described Altamirano in one of your last trip reports

Prosperidad (the name of that location), yes... I thought for the other Nomads maybe a little clarification of what a "casona" is could be
enlightening? Because of the roadwork leading to it, from the south and the style and scope, all seem to indicate El Boleo (French) mine company
infrastructure (cattle raising, farms, etc.) to feed the mine workers.
In the case Prosperidad, here are my two photos taken this year:
Location (just northeast of Vizcaino):

Mexicans know the house as La Casona de Pedro Altamirano
Altamirano was a war hero of the revolutionary times, involved in shaping the future of Santa Rosalia

the Casona (Casa Grande) in Timbabichi is called La casa de Donaciano de la Toba
