Recognizing the importance of an architectural heritage would be the beginning for its conservation. One way to contribute to this is to consider reusing it. The purpose of the study is to value one of the most important tangible inheritances of the Pachuca and Real del Monte Mining District in Mexico, such as the Cornish Engine hou ses, which marked the mining landscape of the 19th century, with the arrival of the technology of the steam. Analyze its architecture based on documentary research and its current vestiges and reflect on its conservation perspective, supported by the assignment of a use or reuse, considering the theoretical bases of industrial heritage, as well as a look at what has been done in other places such as Spain and Great Britain, towards avoiding the loss of a part of this important heritage.
