Casa Wiechers-Villaronga 
Museums / Galleries, Architectural Sites, Ponce
Fodor's Review:
In a city filled with neoclassical confections, this is one of the most elaborate. It was designed by Alfredo B. Wiechers, who returned to his native Ponce after studying architecture in Paris. This house, though small in scale, makes a big impression with details like huge arched windows and a massive rooftop gazebo. No wonder that soon after it was completed it 1911 the Villaronga-Mercado family decided to make it their own. Check out the stained-glass windows and other fanciful touches. Inside you'll find original furnishings and exhibits on Wiechers and other Ponce architects of his era.
