LEGEND OF THE ADUANA DE STO. DOMINGO
Carved over an arch half-way up the main stairway of the ex-Aduana—the building no longer is used as a custom-house—still may be read Don Juan's acrostic inscription that sets forth the initials of Doña Sara de García Somera y Acuña, the lady for whom he so furiously toiled:
Siendo prior del Consulado el coronel D^n Juan Gutierrez Rubin de Celis, caballero del Orden de Sntiago, y consules Dn Garza de Alvarado del mismo Orden, y Dn Lucas Serafin Chacon, se acabó la fabrica de esta Aduana en 28 de Junio de 1731.
