It was originally built as the first residence in Santiago, the private residence of the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valtivia. During the colonial period, it was the residence of successive governors. From Chile's independence in 1810 to 1846, it was the presidential residence; after 1846, the government office and the presidential residence were moved to LaMoneda Palace, the presidential palace. The building caught fire shortly thereafter, but several walls survived the disaster and still stand. It was converted into a neoclassical building in 1882 by architect Ricardo Brown - the predecessor of the Central Post Office Building. In 1908, to celebrate the centenary of Chile's independence, architect Ramon Feherman added a third floor in French neoclassical style to the Central Post Office, and added a dome. Now the building is used for the Central Post Office, and there is a postal museum on the second floor of the post office.
