L	LDGPJCSF on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Atención excelente y muy amables La historia del edifico que aloja “El Palacio de los Gurza” y que durante casi seis décadas (1953-2009), albergó al periódico “El Sol de Durango”, se remonta a fines del siglo XVIII y es descrita en esa época como “una casa vieja, maltratada y de adobe”. En ese entonces el inmueble era propiedad de María Gertrudis Javiera Barraza, esposa del Teniente de Alcalde Mayor de Santiago Papasquiaro. A mediados del siglo XIX, la propiedad fue adquirida por los hermanos Luis y Antonio Gurza, ambos prósperos comerciantes y empresarios agrícolas de esa época, quienes la convirtieron en una residencia porfiriana con amplios ventanales para la hora de tomar el té. Esta casa, la cual fue mandada construir por Antonio Gurza López, fue habitada por la misma familia. Eran parientes políticos de Francisco I. Madero y este mismo personaje en sus visitas a la ciudad de Durango, aquí residió; incluso aquí organizó el Partido Antirreeleccionista de Durango, para contender en las elecciones de 1910. Posteriormente, quizá debido al clima político que imperaba en la entidad, Antonio Gurza y familia emigraron a la capital del país dejando posiblemente a su sobrino Miguel Gurza al cuidado del inmueble, quien lo desocupó en 1938, al ser enajenado. Horario: Martes a Viernes 10:00 am – 6:00 pm / Sábados y Domingos 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Excellent service and very friendly The history of the building that houses "El Palacio de los Gurza" and that for almost six decades (1953-2009), housed the newspaper "El Sol de Durango", dates back to the end of the 18th century and is described at that time as " an old, battered, adobe house.” At that time, the property was owned by María Gertrudis Javiera Barraza, wife of the Deputy Mayor of Santiago Papasquiaro. In the mid-19th century, the property was acquired by the brothers Luis and Antonio Gurza, both prosperous merchants and agricultural entrepreneurs of that time, who converted it into a Porfirian residence with large windows for tea time. This house, which was ordered to be built by Antonio Gurza López, was inhabited by the same family. They were political relatives of Francisco I. Madero and this same character in his visits to the city of Durango, resided here; Even here, he organized the Durango Antireelectionist Party to contest the 1910 elections. Later, perhaps due to the prevailing political climate in the entity, Antonio Gurza and his family emigrated to the country's capital, possibly leaving his nephew Miguel Gurza in the care of the property, who vacated it in 1938, when it was alienated. Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10:00 am – 6:00 pm / Saturday and Sunday 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
