His work ended without a doubt, and known worldwide, is the parish church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Puerto Varas, which today is the pride and an icon of the "City of Roses."

In the mid 1920's, the buildings in Puerto Montt were all wood. In the downtown buildings were built two and three stories, which in the lower part used for commercial and high for residences.
