The House of Pilar, located in Lomba, is a building that dates back to the 18th century. It comprises a manor house surrounded by a series of terraced platforms, partially landscaped and supported by large support walls, and by a forested area at the back.
 
It also includes three large cisterns, two of them twinned, and rectangular-shape lake with a stone islet in the centre.
 
Located in the village of Matriz of Horta city, the "Império dos Nobres" (Holy Spirit chapel) also dates back to the 18th century. Among other aspects, its secondary body has a span of late Gothic design.
 
The Pharmacy Lecquoc House is more recent than the aforementioned buildings. It is an urban property whose decoration anticipates the fin de siècle atmosphere of the 1800s.
 
The Building Heritage Inventory of the Azores describes the House of Comendador Eduardo Bulcão, already built in the 20th century, "as an urban corner house with two floors and an attic, and with an overbearing eclectic decoration." In turn, architect Adelino Nunes projected the Post Office, a public building located on the side of Matriz Church. It "demonstrates a desire to reconcile the principles of Estado Novo (New State) architecture, commonly known as "'Soft Portuguese style.'"
