Its construction was commissioned by Don José de la Borda in 1759 and was used by the parish priests of Santa Prisca.

Borda House has a simple facade and two stories made of pink quarry stone. Inside, there are several courtyards and staircases that connect to balconies overlooking both the square and the interior of the building.

Currently, it serves as the Casa de la Cultura de Taxco, offering workshops, exhibitions, and various cultural events. It is also the venue for the National Silver Contest.
