La Casa Mínima or Minute House, is the only remaining example of a freedman’s lodging in Buenos Aires and provides adults and children with an insight into life in colonial Argentina. Built in the early 19th century, the Casa Mínima were constructed adjacent to a slave owner's residence and housed their freed slaves. And at 2.17 meters (7.12 feet) wide by 13 meters deep (42.5 feet) the Minute House is clearly minimal.
