History

The building was designed in a Moorish Revival style by architect Pedro Adolfo de Castro. The building dates from 1934. Although it is named "Casa", it has never been a dwelling place for a family; rather it is a "house" whose members claim common ancestry. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It is not open to the public, but private affairs may be arranged.

Architectural details

The building is a "typical" Moorish palace that is 119 feet (36 m) wide by 158 feet (48 m) long, with an interior rectangular courtyard, 51 feet (16 m) by 85 feet (26 m) long.[2]

Fountain of the lions.

The fountain design outside the entrance is a copy of one in the "Patio de los Leones" at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain.[2]

Media

The interior courtyard was used to film two coronation scenes for the Disney Channel Original Movie "Princess Protection Program" (2008).[3]
