The Casa de los Condes de Jaruco (House of the Counts of Jaruco) is identified in the sources as a late colonial mansion located within Old Havana, associated with the Barrio de San Lázaro and referenced in guides and travel photography about the historic core of Havana. Sources characterize the building as an excellent example of late colonial domestic architecture in the city. One photographic/travel source describes the house as "has been fully restored" while a fragment in the same context includes the phrase "needing restoration," creating an uncertain picture of its current physical condition; no definitive restoration history or dates are provided in the supplied excerpts. The available material situates the house within the urban fabric of Old Havana — a district shaped by Spanish colonial planning — and notes its inclusion in touristic and heritage-oriented literature. The supplied sources do not provide precise geographic coordinates, construction dates, ownership timeline beyond the implication of association with the Counts of Jaruco, or any documented events specific to the building. Reported phenomena: none documented in the provided sources. There are no named spirits, apparitions, hauntings, witness reports, or folkloric narratives about supernatural occurrences connected to this site in the supplied research notes. Consequently, no explanatory theories or folkloric attributions are recorded here.
