About this property

The Logia Masónica Hijos de la Luz, on Avenida José C. Barbosa in Yauco, Puerto Rico, is a stuccoed masonry building constructed in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2001. It is Classical Revival in style, designed by French architect André Troublard and built by master builder Jesus Emmanuelli. Also known as Logia Masónica, it served as a meeting hall.
