Hello Ironmachine,

I think you've stumped us on this one. Perhaps you could pose another question to get the ball rolling again?

[Ironmachine]

He was Bibiano Fernández Osorio y Tafall.
New question then.
What is this building and what was its significance in the SCW?

[Ironmachine]

04:20 p.m.

[Maxschnauzer]

Was it Franco's HQ on the Canary Islands?

[Ironmachine]

No. It is not on the Canary Islands and it had no direct connection with Franco.

[Maxschnauzer]

Monataña Barracks?

[Ironmachine]

If you mean the "Cuartel de la Montaña", no, it's not that building. It's not in Madrid, either.

Just a crazy guess: the house of Rosales family in Granada? The place where Federico García Lorca lived his last days before he was detained and executed.

[Ironmachine]

No, not correct. This house is much more directly involved in the SCW.

[Maxschnauzer]

It's not your hacienda is it, Ironmachine?

[Ironmachine]

And how would it be related with the SCW?

[Maxschnauzer]

Just a poor attempt at humor on my part. Sorry to go OT.

[Ironmachine]

I know it was a joke, but as I asked "What is this building and what was its significance in the SCW?", you could as well made the full joke.
After all, my "hacienda" could have had significances in the SCW, who knows.

[Maxschnauzer]

You're right, I would never make a living as a comedian.
But back to the question. Is the building located in Toledo?
