En esta casa a la que,
como en tres mas,
bajo el amparo
del pabellón del Peru
llegaron a refugiarse
perseguidos juaristas,
vivio el representante
diplomático de mi patria
Miguel Nicolas Corpancho
quien por ofrecer tan gallardo asilo
y por su total identificación
con el viril y altivo
pueblo mexicano que combatia
contra las fuerzas francesas
de ocupación y sus
descalificados colaboradores
fue expulsado de Mexico
el 20 de agosto de 1863
Alfonso Genavides Correa
Embajador de Peru
Mexico D.F. 18 de julio de 1973
Centenario del deceso de
Don Benito Juarez
Benemerito de las Americas

English translation:
In this house, as in three others, with the support of Peru, persecuted supporters of Juárez came seeking refuge. Here lived the Peruvian diplomatic representative, Miguel Nicolas Corpancho, who offered asylum and totally identified with the strong, Mexican people that combatted against the French forces and their illegitimate collaborators. He was expelled from Mexico on August 20, 1863.
Alfonso Genavides Correa,
