The Ingenio Azucarero Vives (English: Vives Sugar Plant), also known as Hacienda Vives, is a historic sugar mill complex with ruins of windmill and a processing building, in Barrio Machete of Guayama, in southern Puerto Rico. Sugarcane was ground by the windmill and the extracted juice was further processed in the processing building, by slaves. A slave uprising occurred here in the early 1800s.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976,[1] and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2001.[3]
It is believed to have been constructed by 1828.[4]
In 1976, the site was found to be significant as the only example of early industrial architecture and the only windmill in Puerto Rico.[2]
It was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record program, with photographs by Jack Boucher.
