Notes
[edit]- ^ The listed portion of the Carretera Central extends into Caguas, Cidra, Cayey, Aibonito, Coamo, and Juana Díaz. The roadway route in San Juan and Ponce, as well as a portion in Caguas, was excluded from the National Register listing.
- ^ Spanish: casillas de caminero.
- ^ The name of Church San Juan Bautista y San Ramón Nonato of Juana Diaz is presented here without the accent on "Díaz" in conformance with the usage in the house's National Register nomination form[14] and announcement of listing.[15] The latter source additionally omits the accent from "Ramón", which was retained here.
- ^ Construction of the Church San Juan Bautista y San Ramón Nonato of Juana Diaz began in 1807. A completion date is not stated in the available sources. Major elements (the north tower) were added possibly as late as 1895.
- ^ Federal and state laws and practices restrict general public access to information regarding the specific location of this resource. In some cases, this is to protect archaeological sites from vandalism, while in other cases it is restricted at the request of the owner.

Godreau from the house's nomination form[22] and official announcement of entry on the National Register,[23] and Godreau, Miguel C., Casa from the comprehensive National Register database.[24] This article adopts the first of these, Casa Miguel C. Godreau, because it offers the most proper Spanish usage.

- ^ The name of the Cementerio Catolico San Vicente de Paul is presented here without the accent on "Católico" in conformance with the usage in the cemetery's National Register nomination form[28] and announcement of listing.[29]

- ^ The name of the Zaldo de Nebot Residencia is presented here using word order (personal name preceding "Residencia") that conforms to the usage in the house's National Register announcement of listing[34] and subsequent database entries.[32][35]
- ^ Juan Bautista and Domingo Filardi's father, Vicente Filardi, was the general contractor with overall responsibility for design and construction for the Filardi House.
