The Poncelor residence is one of the
handsomest in the city Standing upon
an eminence in that interesting portion
of the South Highlands from which one
may obtain the most picturesque view of
the city, its immense veranda is particu-
larly delightful at night The breeze and
the brightly illumined city in the distance
made the most popular of all the attrac-
tive spots about the residence; during the
dance palms and potted plants and clus-
ters of garden flowers gave it the aspect
of some charming blossomy terrace.
