The owner of the resort we stayed at explained that this building is a US Consulate started in the first part of the 1900's. She even went on to say that this is the first US Embassy in all of Central America. Here is some more interesting information about the mining town up in the mountains of Honduras.
Looking at this house you can see that it is clearly American architecture. You can imagine the two flag poles in front, one waving the US flag. We wanted to get a closer view, but the property is still US owned. Some locals are hired to live on the land next to the building and they oversee it's care. Mainly to cut the grass and make sure no unwelcome guests find their way in.
Below are a few more images. One up close and the other up the road a short distance.
