Museo de la Arquitectura Ponceña

Museo de la Arquitectura Ponceña in Ponce, Puerto Rico, occupies the historic Casa Wiechers-Villaronga in the Ponce Historic Zone and preserves both the city’s architectural story and a remarkable early twentieth-century residence. Alfredo B. Wiechers designed and built the house in 1912 as his home and studio, reflecting the European Neoclassical language with Baroque influence that marked his work in Ponce. Sold in 1919 to Gabriel Villaronga, it remained in that family for much of the twentieth century before restoration and conversion into a museum in 1996. With much original fabric, furnishings, and imported decorative elements intact, it is both an exhibition space and one of only two surviving Wiechers residences.
