Twin Houses, French-style mansions on Paseo de Montejo, Mérida, Mexico
The Twin Houses feature ornate architectural elements, including wrought iron gates, balconies, and decorative window frames spread across multiple floors.
The construction of these residences began in 1904 under architect Gustave Umbdenstock and engineer Manual Canton Ramos during Mexico's Porfiriato period.
The mansions represent the architectural preferences of wealthy sisal plantation owners who sought to incorporate European design elements into their homes.
Located between streets 45 and 43 on Paseo de Montejo, these mansions maintain their status as private residences, unlike other buildings converted for commercial use.
The southern house includes a third floor with a mansard roof, while both structures contain original fixtures selected by architect Umbdenstock in 1900.
