The Logia Masónica Hijos de la Luz, on Avenida José C. Barbosa in Yauco, Puerto Rico, is a stuccoed masonry building constructed in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It is Classical Revival in style, designed by French architect André Troublard and built by master builder Jesus Emmanuelli.[2]

Also known as Logia Masónica, it served as a meeting hall.[2]

It is probably the earliest built and oldest surviving purpose-built Masonic building in Puerto Rico.[2]

André Troublard also designed the Casa Franceschi Antongiorgi, also in Yauco and listed on the National Register.[3]
