Hacienda Santa Rita is located in the municipality of Guánica, Puerto Rico. It is also known as Casa Madre y Noviciado de las Hermanas Dominicas de Fatima and was built in 1800 by Don Mariano Quiñonez.[2]
It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.[3][1]
It consists of buildings of a former sugar plantation, Hacienda Desideria, including a main house and slave quarters.[2]
During the Spanish–American War in 1898 the building was used by the Spanish military and then by the Americans. Generals Guy Vernor Henry[note 1] and A. Garreston stayed at the house.[2]
From 1953 on it was used by, and from 1962 owned by, the Dominican Order of Our Lady of Fatima. The main house has been used as a convent and novice house.[2]
Notes
- ^ The reference states General Guy B. Henry stayed there. Assuming that is a typo, it was presumably Guy Vernor Henry, who soon became Governor of Puerto Rico.
