Hugo Leicht in his book ‘Las Calles de Puebla’ (The Streets of Puebla) mentions that in the year of 1697 a house was built under the name ‘la Palma’. According to Cerón Zapata (1714), the property used to belong to María de Ortega, widow of Francisco Álvarez. She was member of San Francisco’s third order and used to host poor people that came from Spain until they found a place of their own. The house holds its name since 1740.
