  1. A

    Casa Morales House

    Highlighting the eclecticism and historical diversity of San Germán’s architecture this Victorian-era house was built soon after the American occupation in 1898. With its gables, porches and roof turrets, it is redolent of a Queen Anne–style structure from the plush neighborhood of a US mainland city. It also exemplifies how quickly American aesthetics infiltrated the island. It is a private home and not open to the public.
