Museo Casa Roig
Museums / Galleries, Houses / Mansions, Humacao
Fodor's Review:
The former residence of sugar baron Antonio Roig Torruellas, Museo Casa Roig was built in 1919. Czech architect Antonio Nechodoma designed the facade, unusual for its wide eaves, mosaic work, and stained-glass windows with geometric patterns. This was Puerto Rico's first 20th-century building to go on the register of National Historic Places. The Roig family lived in the home until 1956; it was then abandoned before being turned over to the University of Puerto Rico in 1977. It's currently a museum and cultural center, with historical photos, furniture, and rotating exhibits of works by contemporary island artists.
