[1] The residence was formerly a beach house and the centerpiece of a vast estate on the southern skirts of Mayagüez which used to be owned by banker and politician Don Alfredo Ramírez de Arellano y Rosell.

He was a member of the Ramírez de Arellano family and founder of the Hacienda Igualdad, a 1925 sugarcane plantation and mill which used to be one of the largest of its type in Puerto Rico at the time.

The vacation home was notable as being one of the earliest and best examples of Revival plantation-style residences in the island during the first half of the 20th century.
