==History==
When built in 1922, it was actually the replacement quarters for Ponce's exclusive club, the previous one having been destroyed by a hurricane. In addition to its original use, the building has also served as postal office, a public health unit, tax collector's office, and as a temporary city hall.〔 The building was designed by Agustin Canilo Gonzalez, and the artesanical works were the product of Jose Cott, Victor Cott, and Camilo Gonzalez (Jr.) Local painter Don Miguel Pou was responsible for the painted tapestries.〔''Historia del Antiguo Casino de Ponce.''
