Inscription.
Casa del Gobernador Francisco Cantón RosadoEste edificio de la calle 37 x 44 es en donde nació el ex Gobernador Vallisoletano Francisco Cantón Rosado. Es una casa característica de la clase media en el Periodo Colonial pues es de una sola crujía, muy baja de sus muros y techo y no tiene acceso de calesa (portón y zaguán). Su mayor valor es intangible por haber sido la casa en la que nació este ilustre vallisoletano que llegó a gobernar el estado de Yucatán.

English:House of Governor Francisco Canton RosadoThis building in the 37 and 44 Streets, is where former Governor Francisco Cantón Rosado was born. Is a typical medium class house from the colonial times, for it only has one bay, has low walls and ceilings and has no access for a buggy (gate and hallway). Its biggest value is intangible, as for being the birth house of this illustrious Vallisoletan who became governor of Yucatan.
