Casa Delerme-Anduze No. 2

The second Delerme-Anduze House (Spanish: Casa Delerme-Anduze número dos), also known as the Rosendo Delerme House at 355 Antonio Mellado Street (Casa Rosendo Delerme en la Calle Antonio Mellado #355), is a historic 19th-century Spanish Creole-style house located in Isabel Segunda, the largest and main administrative and historic settlement of the island-municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico.[1] Local historical accounts such as "The Immigrations to Vieques, 1823-1898", describe the residence as the second house in Vieques to be owned by Augusto Neré Delerme, a wealthy French immigrant from Guadeloupe who built it in 1876 as a wedding gift for his wife Cecilia Anduze, a native of Saint Thomas. The house was lived by their son Julio Delerme-Anduze and afterwards by his descendants. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and historical significance as it represents a prime example of Spanish vernacular architecture with elements of the French Creole architecture from the West Indies that was popular in Vieques at the time.[2]
