Casa Natal de Luis Muñoz Rivera located in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico is a structure of great political and cultural significance. Built in 1850, it is the place where Luis Muñoz Rivera was born in 1859. The residence is representative of how middle-class Puerto Ricans lived at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. It is a political and cultural symbol, not only for the people of Barranquitas, but for all of Puerto Rico. In addition to its political and historical value, the structure is a good example of the Creole residential architecture of the interior of the island of Puerto Rico at that time. The house is characterized by the simplicity of its architectural components and by the use of wood, both in the structure as in the details. Its plant is rectangular in shape and has a pitched roof. The main facade stands on a podium, and consists of a balcony adorned by a continuous balustrade and four columns that support the roof of the balcony. In 1959, it was restored and transformed into a library-museum by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture.
