Frommer's Staff

Constructed in 1882 as the centerpiece of a 12-day agricultural fair intended to promote the civic charms of Ponce, this building was designated a year later as the island's first permanent headquarters for a volunteer firefighting brigade. It has an unusual appearance -- it's painted black, red, green, and yellow. A tourist-information kiosk is situated inside the building.
