La Casita de Don Pedro

La Casita de Don Pedro is a living public art project, created by the willing hands of volunteers and celebrating the Puerto Rican nationalist leader after whom it is named. A walled garden featuring a statue of Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos is designed in red mosaics and star-shaped forms to display the Puerto Rican flag. At the back of the property is a single-room, traditional Puerto Rican style rural house—la casita—with a zinc roof and porch. Inside you'll find a gift shop, a display of arts & crafts and a photo exhibit. Since 1997, La Casita has offered the Humboldt Park community a variety of cultural services and is frequently the site of Bomba musical performances.
