FelipaManuela - Madrid
FelipaManuela toma el nombre de la anterior propietaria del piso. Felipa Manuela Martínez Esteban vivió en esta casa de la calle Ferrocarril de Madrid más de cincuenta años. Junto al portal tuvo también durante cinco décadas su negocio, la mercería El Capricho. A principios del año 2001, el edificio fue sometido a una profunda reforma, que se alargó por más de dos años. Poco tiempo después de que la casa estuviese terminada, Felipa Manuela ingresó a una residencia de ancianos y allí murió.
Desde entonces y durante casi siete años, la casa se ha mantenido deshabitada, conservando los muebles, objetos y decoración casi igual como los dejó su propietaria el día de su partida. Las actuales dueñas del piso, dos sobrinas de Felipa Manuela, no han querido ni alquilar ni vender la vivienda. Probablemente, para ellas se trata de mantener vivo el recuerdo de un período de sus vidas que, irremediablemente, se diluye en el tiempo.
FelipaManuela takes the name of the former owner of the flat where the residence was.Felipa Manuela Martinez Esteban lived in this house at Ferrocarril street over fifty years. Along the portal also had his business for five decades, the haberdashery El Capricho. In early 2001, the building underwent a major reform, which dragged on for over two years. Shortly after the house was finished, Felipa Manuela entered a nursing home and died there.
Since then and for nearly seven years, the house has remained uninhabited, keeping the furniture and decoration items and left about the same as the owner on the day of departure. The current owners of the floor refuse to sell or rent or housing. Probably, for them it comes to keeping alive the memory of a period of their lives that, inevitably, is diluted over time.
