Building in Yucatán, Mexico
The Cámara Houses, also known as the Twin Houses, are two historic town houses at 495 Paseo de Montejo in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. Built between 1908 and 1911, they were based on a Beux-Arts design in the French Second Empire Style by Gustave Umbdenstock, the French architect. Initially, they served as a private residence for the aristocratic de la Cámara family. In 1964, one of the two houses was acquired by the Barbachano family; since 2021, it has been open to the public as a museum. Over the years, the houses have received countless guests, including Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Umberto II of Italy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
