The main objective of this research is to identify the continuities and changes in t he construction mode and functions organization in their properties. To reach the objective, sites and residences functions organization characteristics, as well as the construction techniques used by the analyzed group, were compared with the data brought by the historiography concerned with the architecture produced by the Pomeranians in their homeland and by the Pomeranian immigrants in Rio Grande do Sul, as well as with some other architectures produced by immigrants of other ethnicities.
