Ponce Creole

Ponce Creole is an architectural style created in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in the late 19th and early 20th century. This style of Puerto Rican buildings is found predominantly in residential homes in Ponce built between 1895 and 1920. Ponce Creole architecture borrows heavily from French, Spanish, and Caribbean vernacular styles to create structures able to withstand the region's hot and dry climate, while taking advantage of the sun and sea breezes characteristic of the southern Puerto Rican coast. It usually employs a blend of wood and masonry, incorporating architectural elements of other styles, from Spanish Revival to Victorian.¶
