The Gallery Inn

I arrived one hot and muggy night in late July, 1961 with the intention of finding a house to restore. Such an idea had been put in my head by cousin Oscar D’Esopo, professor at The University of Puerto Rico, who had lived and loved Puerto Rico for thirty years. He knew the restoration program of Old San Juan had just begun and would send me to Dr. Ricardo Alegria, Director of the new Instituto de Cultura.
