Fodor's Review:

A matched pair of balconies with celosías -- intricate wood screens through which ladies could watch passersby unobserved -- grace the facade of this rambling mansion dating from 1760. Ornately carved wooden balconies overlook the front and back courtyards of this typical colonial house. An interesting museum of folk art is on the second floor.
