Casa Rosa or Casa Rosada, also known as the Pink House, is a historic house located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The house was built in 1812 as a barrack for the troops assigned to the San Agustin Bastion. It was converted to an officers quarters in 1881 by the Spanish Army. The building was later converted to a museum used for Puerto Rican crafts. Today it operates as a day care center for the children of employees of the Government of Puerto Rico. {{cite book|last=Adams Otis|first=Ginger|title=Puerto Rico |publisher=Lonely Planet|date=2005|isbn=1-74059-781-8|url=https://archive.org/details/lonelyplanetpuer00ging|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/lonelyplanetpuer00ging/page/78 78]|quote=Casa Rosa san juan.}}
