Casa Blanca (San Juan)
Casa Blanca is a house museum located in Old San Juan within the historic colonial section of the capital of Puerto Rico.
==History==
Built in 1521, it served as the first fortification of the San Juan islet. It was the residence for Juan Ponce de León and his family, and also his cousins, although de Leon died in an expedition to Florida without ever getting to occupy the structure. It was used as the residence of his descendants, until the mid-18th century.
As a fortification it served mostly as a refuge in times of attack from Taino rebels.〔 The house was built in wood but was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in stone and masonry. It subsequently was occupied by members of the Spanish army and later by American army commanders. The surrounding gardens were planted by the first American governor of the island in the 19th century.〔(Old Walls, New Spirit ). ''The New York Times''. November 11, 2007〕
In 1967, the complex was transferred to the government of Puerto Rico and declared a historical monument. In 1981, it was recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey. Today, the house is a museum of 16th and 17th century artifacts managed by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture.〔(Museo de Casa Blanca ) Institute of Puerto Rican Culture〕
