1. Club Fe en el Porvenir / Club Faith in the Future Marker
Construido en 1908 como sociedad recreativa y cultural Fe en el Porvenir. Es el único edificio de tres pisos en madera de estilo victoriano existente en la ciudad. Su techo es de zinc de tipo mansard en diferentes ángulos con buhardillas y balcones. La segunda planta tiene una galería corrida en forma de escuadra, única en su género. En la tercera planta sobresalen los balcones con sus frontales en forma de abanicos.
En el año 1985 esta propiedad pasa al Estado dominicano y se establece en ella la oficina provincial del Ministerio de Cultura, compartiendo el uso de su espacio para el desarrollo de actividades culturales abiertas al público.
Esta estructura se restauró en 1991 bajo la dirección del arquitecto Roberto Bergés, siendo, junto al edificio del Ayuntamiento, uno de los monumentos arquitectónicos e históricos que sobreviven al conjunto original de cuatro edificaciones que bordeaban el parque Independencia a principios del siglo XX.
