Many houses with a timber frame structure, catalogued with a Structural or Integral level of protection, have been preserved in Madrid. However, this construction system of internal timber-framed load-bearing walls and two-layer facade walls is barely known. The discovery and analysis of old inns projects with unpublished graphic and written information to date (1669-1798), and the reconstruction of their constructive detailing will explain this typology, from the first wooden skeletons filled with masonry, until the beginning of the metal structures. The Posada del Peine, the oldest preserved, and with the oldest plan including the timber posts in walls reveals the origin and development of this construction system, the modification of the original building (1616-1863) and its subsequent extension (1891-2). The developed methodology demonstrates its validity to study similar historical constructions, existing literature is complete with main features, and errors in the references found are solved.
