Iconographic documentary sources provide important subsidies for research on architecture and the city. This article discusses the architecture produced in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century built in pioneer colonies of German immigration in the state of Espírito Santo, the Santa Isabel Colony (current municipality of Domingos Martins) and the Santa Leopoldina Colony (current municipality of the same name). It does this through photographic documentary sources, with the purpose of analyzing this production and, in this way, understanding its cultural origins. The methodology used allows to verify, in the images studied, two processes: for the rural areas, persistence and consolidation, the figure of continuity; For urban areas, adaptation and transformation, the figure of the fragment.
