Casa Font-Ubides

Residential Buildings

Casa Font-Ubides, also known as the Residencia Monsanto, is a historic building located on the north side of Castillo Street in the historic district of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Dating from 1913, it was designed by the architect Blas Silva in a combination of nineteenth century Classical Revival and Art Nouveau styles. The building is noted for its aggressive incorporation of curvilinear forms and ornament, and for the complete preservation of its original architecture, which makes it one of a series of grand houses integral to the character of Ponce's historic urban core.
