Abstract
Historic study of selective character that pretends to show the evolutions of the well heeled bogotans in the first decades of the 20th century. The study is located inside the Social History and the concept of Mentalities, by means of collective mentality analysis, within the framework of economy and politics, between 1930 and 1948 during the Liberal Republic. It is during this period that building of great residences for the local elite blossoms, quenching a thirst for prestige and cultural opening. A marriage between the rising bourgeoisie and the local "aristocracy" and its shedding of its Hispanic origin, relives a yearning for distinction and the idea of entering into the phenomena of modernity, founded onto European culture. In the same direction appears the building of new quarters with betterment on the living conditions in space and material conditions and public services together with urban facilities. New styles of decoration are revised as part of this study too.
