This chimney belonged to a sugar factory sometimes identified as Hacienda Oliva and sometimes as Ingenio Clementina.  Its original owner was reportedly Ciprian Marcucci Gavi (1806- ), a Corsican immigrant from Morsiglia who arrived in Puerto Rico in 1829 and married Domitila Castellar.  Ciprian and Domitila had a daughter called Oliva Marcucci Castellar (1847-1922). 

Ciprian's brother Angel Maria Marcucci Gavi (1804- ) was a mariner who settled in Guayanilla in 1828 when he filed naturalization papers that indicated he wanted to be a farmer.  In 1832 Angel married Gregoria Lugo and had two sons, Angel (1840-1888) and Julio (1844- ) Marcucci Lugo.  In 1872 Angel Marcucci Lugo married his first cousin Oliva Marcucci Castellar. They had four children named Clementina, Angel Rafael, Consuelo and Alfredo Marcucci Marcucci.

The 1872 Puerto Rico Slave Register shows Ciprian Marcucci owning some sixty eight slaves in barrio Santo Domingo of Peñuelas where these ruins are located near the corner of PR-132 km 8.3 and Calle La Chimenea.  The Register also shows Angel Marcucci Gavi owning 20 slaves in Barrio Magas of Guayanilla which confirms the fact he was not owner of this hacienda.

Based on the above, we believe the original name of the hacienda when owned by Ciprian was Oliva in honor of his daughter.  It may be the case that the name was chenged when inherited by Oliva and her husbandd Angel in honor of their daughter Clementina.

 We did not know of this remains until it was brought to our attention by Emilio Cortés, a visitor to this website who we thank for sharing the information.  The drone pictures in the gallery below were taken in the summer of 2022 by Carlos Alemán who very graciously authorized us to publish them here.  He comments that the structural integrity of the chimney is very delicate.  The fissure at its base is very extensive and the chimney appears to be leaning to one side.
