Wiechers–Villaronga House, Neoclassical mansion in Ponce Historic Zone, Puerto Rico.
The U-shaped residence spans 68 by 95 feet, featuring brick masonry walls, wooden beam supports, and a galvanized zinc roof covering the structure.
Architect Alfredo Wiechers Pieretti constructed this residence in 1912 as his home and studio, later selling it to Julio Mercado who gifted it to his daughter Elena.
The interior contains original Modernisme furniture from Barcelona, decorated tapestries by Librado Net, and embossed tin ceilings throughout the rooms.
The building now functions as the Museo de la Arquitectura Ponceña, displaying architectural achievements of early 20th-century Puerto Rican designers and builders.
The residence features a round pergola on its corner bay and incorporates beveled corners, known as chaflan, following local building regulations from 1912.
