Casa Oppenheimer
Casa Oppenheimer (English: Oppenheimer House) is a historic house in Ponce, Puerto Rico, designed in 1913 by famed Puerto Rican architect by Alfredo B. Wiechers. The house is unique amongst other historic structures in historic Ponce for its skillful incorporation of front gardens in a very limited urban space.〔Mariano G.

Listing Reference Number 87001824. October 29, 1987.〕 The historic building is located at 47 Salud Street, in the city's historic district, at the northwest corner of Salud and Aurora streets.
==History==
The Oppenheimer House is one of Ponce's most distinctive residential structures. It was designed in 1913 for Doña Isabel Oppenheimer-de Santiago by one of Puerto Rico's foremost early 20th century architects, Alfredo Weichers. Two years earlier, in 1911, he had built ''Casa Serralles,'' which today is home to the Museum of Puerto Rican Music.〔(''Museum of Ponce Architecture: Casa Wiechers Villaronga''. Travel Ponce. )〕 Mr. Weichers left Puerto Rico to study architecture in Barcelona, Spain, and returned to Ponce where he built various structures in the Spanish-Art Nouveau style. Weichers designed many of the mansions of Ponce's aristocratic society of his time. The Oppenheimer residence is one such structure. Architecturally, the house is the result of an artful combination of elements from the contemporary modernist movement and the simpler townspeople's building traditions used in the hot southern coast of Puerto Rico.
Prominent in this property is the used of a chamfered front entrance gate. This front entrance into the property follows the chamfered pattern delineated by the city street at the corner of Salud and Aurora streets. This designed responded to city ordinances which mandated the incorporation of chamfered corners in urban city lots.〔Mariano G. Coronas Castro, Certifying Official; Hector M. Santiago, State Architectural Historian, Puerto Rico Historic Preservation Office. (San Juan, Puerto Rico) July 14, 1987. ''Oppenheimer House.'' In, ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form''. United States Department of the Interior. National Park Service. (Washington, D.C.) Page 3. Listing Reference Number 87001824. October 29, 1987.〕 This design, along with the use of a mirror-image chamfered design of the front of the house proper, provided the property with a significant amount of frontal garden space, uncommon in city lots just two blocks from Ponce's main Plaza, as is the case of this house.
