Here's a Color to Write Home About
I discovered this renovation while taking a peek at a friend's new home several weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's a home or a business, but it's huge and bright lavender. A really lovely facade.

That's the famous horse stable at La Cupula! I think it was connected to the houses that became Rosas y Xocolocate, or one of the mansions along the Paseo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a private home and was recently the site of a fund-raiser for the Oasis. A corner plaque on 41 and 54 honors it: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Esquina_de_La_C%C3%BApula,_M%C3%A9rida,_Yucat%C3%A1n_(01).JPG
Ahh..., so it was a stable. Interesting.

ReplyDeleteI love the plaque with the horsie.
ReplyDeleteGlorious!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it was the stables of the Palacio Canton which is the Museo de Antropologia now but was a private home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that information, John and Josh. Quite a grand stable!
