predosificado, la demolición y reposición de ornamentos en mal estado, la reposición y reparación de cubiertas de cobre en salientes y bajadas de agua, la reparación de canalizaciones eléctricas exteriores y la restauración de puertas, ventanas y rejas (Binda & Miniño, 1999). El tratamiento de fachadas consistió en la aplicación de un revestimiento de base cementicia, emulando el color y textu- ra original, para conseguir una superficie uniforme y de fácil mantención. Para esto, se aplicó una primera capa de estuco, una segunda, para obtener el plomo deseado y la capa de ter- minación, con arena del Marga Marga (Binda & Miniño, 1999).

the closure of Independencia Hall and the Morandé 80 door, and the relocation of the water fountain from the main patio to the Patio de los Naranjos to make the access to the building clearer (Oliva, 2017). The reinauguration took place on March 11, 1981, marking the transfer of executive power from the Diego Portales building back to La Moneda (Márquez & Rozas- Krause, 2014). With the return of democracy to Chile, a series of inter- ventions were undertaken in order to erase the traces of the dictatorial period in the presidential building. The first of these corresponded to the "Blanquear la Memoria" project of 1999, which involved the restoration of the facades, restoring the building to its original white color. The work included the demolition and stripping of the sur- face coating and stucco in poor condition, the treatment of adhesion joints and replacement with pre-dosed mortar, the demolition and replacement of ornaments in poor condition, the replacement and repair of copper coverings on overhangs and downspouts, the repair of exterior electrical conduits, and the restoration of doors, windows, and railings (Binda & Miniño, 1999). The facade treatment consisted of applying a cement-based coating, emulating the original color and texture, to achieve a uniform surface that was easy to maintain. For this, a first layer of stucco was applied, a second one, to obtain the desired plumbness, and the finishing layer, with sand from Marga Marga (Binda & Miniño, 1999). With the return of democracy to Chile, a series of interventions were undertaken in order to erase the traces of the dictatorial period in the presidential building. The first of these corresponded to the "Blanquear la Memoria" project of 1999, which involved the restoration of the facades, restoring the building to its original white color.
