On the way to walk the Architecture through hotels under construction, the architect Aníbal del Prado explained: “There are some heritage values in the building built in the 19th century, such as the neoclassical facade, and its initial purpose was that of housing but the ground floor is It was destined to Customs warehouses, because customs activity was always present in this square in San Francisco since the time of the colony ”.
He added: “At the beginning of the 20th century the last floor was added. Like many other buildings in Old Havana that were transformed over and over again, this building underwent a great transformation and there was a time when it was a tenancy house and many of its values were lost due to undue transformations. Our duty today is to rescue everything that can be rescued. ”
As a curious fact, he indicated that in the building where the Marqués de Cárdenas de Monte Hermoso hotel is currently created there was a notary in which, in 1929, the Cuban Aviation company was established.
