Intendancy of Valparaíso in 1860, 1860
Herbert von Strudel von Hasselhoff in the morning says that the Intendencia building was located in Plaza Sotomayor, where the Navy building is today. He does not remember the exact dates well, but it was built in the 1830s for the Customs, remodeled in the 1850s to become the Intendencia. It was damaged after the bombing of 1866 (the clock with the bullet hole is now in the National Historical Museum), and was demolished around 1901. It was built in 1831 by the English architect Juan Stevenson and originally designed as a customs house. Santos Tornero, in Chile Ilustrado, printed in Paris in 1872, remembers that it had “upstairs, rooms for the Intendant and apartments for the accommodation of the President of the Republic and his ministers when the Government moves to Valparaíso.” In addition to the local bureaucracy, the president, his offspring and ministers were also involved at that time. Problems with its foundations required a remodelling by engineer Pedro Palma in the early years of the 20th century. But the 1906 earthquake left the entire city and the project in tatters. A year later, architect Ernesto Urquieta was called upon to design the current building. This would be a copy of the Paris City Hall, with 3 floors for the Intendancy, the General Command of Arms, the Public Works Department and the Fiscal Treasury. Above these offices would be the mayor's house and the presidential apartment. The work was inaugurated during the Independence centenary celebrations in 1910.

Daguerreotype Valparaiso, 1852
Daguerreotype cut showing a view of the port area of Valparaíso, specifically what is currently Plaza Sotomayor, in the sea that can be seen, currently are the streets Errazuriz, Brasil and the port facilities. The Valparaíso Stock Exchange, which will be located at the entrance to the dock, had not yet been built. This first stock exchange would later be demolished to build in its place the "Monument to the Navy", currently known as the Monument to the Heroes of Iquique, which would be inaugurated in 1886. The same is true for the rest of the world
