Architecture
The house was designed by engineers Julio Conesa and Julio Morales and built in 1919 at 146 Reina Duarte Street as a wedding present for Conesa's friend Miguel C. Godreau and his wife Leonina Godreau. The house was designed in a unique eclectic style that was foreign at the time in Ponce, during a time where the Neoclassical and the Ponce Creole architectures were the most popular style in the city and the wider region. At the time of the NRHP-designation the house was still owned and lived by Mrs. Godreau. The simple but elegant façade has preserved its style and dark forest green color since its construction with the roofing of the balcony area being the only alteration made to the original design.[2]
