Titled "Casa colonial," this print points to a Havana building whose name suggests the colonial-era architecture that marks much of old Havana, though the record does not name the specific house. Its subject headings place it among hotels and restaurants in Havana during the 1930s and 1940s, a period when the city drew many American visitors and its older streets and courtyards were a popular draw. The image comes from the Archive of Hispanic Culture Collection at the Library of Congress, which gathered photographs of Latin American life and places. Viewers today can look for the thick walls, arched openings and tiled or stuccoed surfaces typical of Spanish colonial buildings in Cuba.
