Casa Aboy
Ponce de Leon Avenue
Miramar, Puerto Rico

Antonin Nechodoma, 1922

The top-heavy second story of this residence features broad overhanging eaves and a band of windows resting on the beltcourse. The vertical members in the novel dormer window align with the windows beneath. The parapet wall on the porch is topped with two matching Wrightian urns with colored glass insets, which frame the broad horizontal planter below.
