In 1921, the transformation of the former Convent of La Encarnación began. This was to house the newly created Secretariat of Public Education. Eventually the Secretariat annexed the buildings of the former Royal Customs House, the house of the Marquises of Villamayor, and the house of Don Cristóbal de Oñate until it took up the entire block. The interior was decorated with murals by artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Roberto Montenegro, Federico Canessi, Carlos Mérida, Luis Nishizahua, among others.
