Casa de Santos Dumont (Santos Dumont House)
Casa de Santos Dumont (Santos Dumont House) Review
The Casa de Santos Dumont was built in 1918 by one of the world's first aviators. Santos Dumont's inventions fill the house, including a heated shower he invented before most homes had running water. The home doesn't have a kitchen because Dumont ordered his food from a nearby hotel—the first documented restaurant delivery service in Brazil.
