In My Grandparents, My Parents, and I, the patio of the Casa Azul forms a protective shelter for Kahlo, who appears as a small child. Guillermo Kahlo built the Casa Azul at the corner of Londres and Allende Streets for his family in 1908, less than a year after Frida's birth on July 6, 1907. Frida Kahlo lived in the house for most of her life. She spent all of her childhood there, when Coyoacán was still a village south of Mexico City, and continued to live there off and on, with and without Rivera, after their marriage in 1929 and remarriage in 1940. |

Kahlo died in the Casa Azul on July 13, 1954, just one week after her forty-seventh birthday. Today her ashes are kept there, and the house has been transformed into the Frida Kahlo Museum.
