Una de las casas más emblemáticas de Atlacomulco que mantiene su diseño original de los años de 1800. Fue propiedad de la Familia González Fabela y ahí Nació y vivió el Bacteriólogo Nicolás González Fabela. Hace poco tiempo fue declarada patrimonio de la Nación. En esta casa, que pertenece a la familia Mercado, se vendía leche y sus derivados. Actualmente en su costado poniente, da vida al mural que nos ocupa, mismo que en el penúltimo cuadro, muestra a miembros de esta familia, y en el último arco, coronado por geranios, nos da una visión nocturna de su portal y parte de la catedral.
