Antiguo Casino Camuyano is a building in downtown Camuy, Puerto Rico, which dates from 1910. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1]

The building was the center of political and social life in Camuy. It was the first reinforced concrete building in Camuy and its relatively fireproof construction was tested in 1910 and 1927 with fires that consumed much of downtown Camuy. [2]
