These theoretical and practical researches, underlie and materialize these goals, along with issues related to the area. Thus, through the photographic survey, metric and analyze the current state of conservation, were drawn up maps of damage that were the basis for the development of guidelines for conservation and maintenance of the building, so that, the building perpetuates over time. From the data collected, was drawn up the damage map, in which was found the constant presence of biofilm, result of the lack of maintenance. Finally, methods were developed to serve as basis the rehabilitation and recovery guidelines in order to permit the future integrity of the building, perpetuating it over the time.
