Orchidarium that Wilson Popenoe built among the "ruin" in the main garden of the house, in the early 1940's. Francisco Marroquin University recently carried out the recovery of the orchids. Currently there are more than 42 endemic species, from different parts of Guatemala.  

View of the herb garden from the terrace (roof of the pigeon loft) In this image you can appreciate the meticulous restoration process of the mixtilinear planters, so characteristic of the baroque of Antigua. Photograph taken around 1931. This garden was one of the first parts of the house to be intervened and one of the few that Dorothy, Wilson's first wife, managed to see finished before her tragic and sudden death. 

First service courtyard, leading to the historic bathroom and kitchen. This photograph was taken in 1929, before work began on restoring the house. Note the excellent state of conservation of the towers. The one on the left corresponds to the kitchen chimney lantern; the one on the right, to the tower of the steps leading from the pigeon loft to the terrace.

Beautiful image of a woman sitting on one of the built-in benches, part of the characteristic corner balcony, in the Main Hall of Casa Popenoe. The photograph has no date, but it could be placed at the end of the 1930s, when the restoration of all the rooms had been completed.
