Quinta Vendrell, in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, is believed to have been designed by architect Alfredo B. Wiechers Pieretti. It is a two-story balloon framed country house that was built in 1918. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2006 and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2008.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=06000028}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Quinta Vendrell / Granja San Andres |publisher=National Park Service |author=Olga de la Rosa Andujar and Juan Llanes Santos |access-date=December 24, 2016 }} with {{NRHP url|id=06000028|photos=y|title=eight photos from 2005}}{{Cite web |last=GOBIERNO DE PUERTO RICO |first=JUNTA DE PLANIFICACIÓN DE PUERTO RICO |date=December 7, 2022 |title=REGISTRO DE PROPIEDADES DESIGNADAS POR LA JUNTA DE PLANIFICACIÓN DE PUERTO RICO |url=https://jp.pr.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/REGISTRO-OFICIAL-DE-SITIOS-Y-ZONAS-HISTORICAS-DESIGNADAS-Rev.-DIC-2022.pdf |website=jp.pr.gov}}
