With the proclamation of the Republic and subsequent occupation of the Episcopal Seminar the priests and seminarians moved in 1912 to this house. It also housed Bishop D. António Barbosa, in January 1912, when returned from his exile. In 1915 the occupants were all transferred to a house in Município Street.
