The Casa Dra. Concha Meléndez Ramírez is a historic house at 1400 Vilá Mayo in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is a modest two-story Spanish Revival structure, finished in adobe-colored concrete and a clay tile roof. The house is notable as the longtime home of Dra. Concha Meléndez Ramírez (1895-1983), a leading literary figure of 20th century Puerto Rico. The house was home to Meléndez and her sister (neither of whom married), from 1940 until her death in 1983. It is now a museum and library, established by her bequest, containing her extensive collections.[2]
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011;[1] it is the first such designation for a Puerto Rican literary site.[2]
