The chronicler of Coín, Juan Santos Gutiérrez (1921 – 2009), a lawyer by profession and in love with history and his people, lived here with his family.

In his student days he worked as a collaborator and disciple of D. Bartolomé Abelenda in the study of the history of Coín, from where he began to send informative chronicles of his city to the Ideal de Granada, La Tarde and the Malaga Sur newspapers.

He was treasurer, secretary and president of the Brotherhood of the Virgen de la Fuensanta. He was also a Councilor for Culture in the 50s, promoting the publication of "Historical Notes from Coín", which would be distributed in schools to "invoke sentiment and love for the small homeland".

The first and only chronicler of his city, he was dismissed from his position by the municipal corporation, when he wrote in 1968 the article entitled "The decline of a rich town: Coin", a premonitory and totally current article.

This well-known Vicario's house is distributed around a main axis that connects the door with the patio and with the back garden or orchard. Like most of the houses located on this street, it responds to the large bourgeois houses that were built during the industrial development of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In this case, the spectacular internal marble patio is presided over by a gate with a monstrance, and surrounded by a gallery that distributes all the rooms.
