CUBA HALL OF

The participation of the Cuban Republic in the Great Exhibition was initially quite uncertain, mainly due to the proximity of 98 and the country's political instability given by the rivalry between liberal and conservative parties that had led to the Liberals in 1906 to benefit from the amendment Platt U.S. request the imposition of a military administration, creating an unfavorable environment for participation in a contest that proclaimed the junction between the Hispanic peoples. It is therefore not surprising that the first invitation to the Cuban government in 1911, he replied in an evasive requesting more information before deciding.

The political environment had changed, when, after a few years, Cuba answered yes to the new invitation to participate in the Exhibition in September 1926. First decided to build a temporary flag, but later modified by a permanent and one temporary.

On December 22, 1927, the Cuban government enacted a law that is assigned weight passes 50,000 to cover the cost of its participation in the exhibition being extended this amount to 160,000 in early 1928. The Standing Committee gives a plot of 7,000 m2 located in the Avd de la Reina Victoria, next to the flag of the Dominican Republic, formalizing the delivery of land on June 9, 1928, of which 2,000 m2 and the rest would be built designed to cultivate gardens where tropical plants.

The main building had two floors and lookout tower, following its composition to the traditional model of town and whose elements are characteristic of Cuban architecture, as are the front porch, formed by a great arcade built with stones brought from quarries Jaimanitas Cuban, the grand staircase of mahogany from Cuba, which begins in the lobby and the lookout, also all constructed with wood pieces, such as balconies, coffered , bars, trims and balustrades, hardwood were used as the caobam, dagame, sabicu, júcro, virgin blood, yaba, oak, walnut cuje, hibiscus, Achan, jocuna, etc., existing models were repeated in Cuba, developed from themes Seville and Canarian architecture.

representation it is certainly a valuable Cuban flag, albeit with some inferiority complex, because the commission of that country, argued that they had a "national style", because it meets the most luxurious materials could provide construction, giving it a colonial air to the building.

The temporary pavilion was built in the rear of the main building and its height was equal to the ground floor of the permanent pavilion, possibly having to take the entire back of the plot, as seen in the photo air. This was composed of a central courtyard surrounded by galleries runs. Access to this building was through an existing door in the great hall opposite the front door, this building was demolished once the exhibition.

On 7 May 1924, the Secretary of State sent a report to the Chamber of Representatives of the United States, with a recommendation of President Calvin Coolidge, was approved for participation in the tournament in Seville. Among the arguments presented prioritized the opportunity to strengthen ties with Latin America, demonstrate the advantages of "American education" and promoting the commercialization of several products in Spain, such as hydrocarbons and their derivatives, machinery land and building materials among others. The proposal found no opposition and was approved by both chambers. In February 1925, he approved the budget allocation for a total of $ 700,000.

The land chosen by the American delegation to raise flag, were originally those of the Sale of Eritaña, but the Standing Committee could not accept this request and that such lands were privately owned. As the July 26, 1926, is given the plot of your choice, this time in the Jardines de San Telmo, 7,500 m2, at the confluence of Paseo de las Delicias and Avenida de Maria Luisa, to build their facilities conditions of the grant of these lands were special.

The difficult negotiations carried out personally the Primo de Rivera and Commissioner Cruz Conde with senior U.S. representatives, this was because the U.S. administration can not build permanent buildings on other nations if

Seen from another angle

the land is not owned, solved this problem with an agreement under which the City Council granted the land to the U.S. for 75 years from 31 December 1930, being optional for the City to recover by paying $ 200,994, cost of buildings or the extension of assignment by another 75 years. In this way avoids the purchase of land, but the American government is compensated for the costs of facilities. Should be noted that this clause was not buying the rest of foreign permanent pavilions were built.

Two aerial views of the pavilions and location.

American authorities appointed as Commissioner General for competition to Thomas Campbell, former governor of Arizona, and an advisory committee, with the permanent representative in Seville Judge Roderick Nathaniel Marson. We performed a limited competition among five renowned architects who were asked to buildings together a style they call "English Missions" in tribute to the legacy and English influence in the arts and American customs and the words of its ambassador "... .. are preserves the architectural style called notros old colonial. " Elected

the project presented by William Templeton Johnson, architect born in San Diego a few years earlier had designed the Art Museum of San Diego inspired by the Renaissance Plateresque sixteenth-century Spain. The project submitted consisted of three buildings, one for use as a permanent consulate once the contest, and two temporary. The construction of three pavilions was awarded to a New York company, which in February 1928 work began under the direction of an architect and four engineers to coordinate the work of English companies outsourced, this being the ultimately perform the work building.

Facade Paseo de las Delicias .

The main building, or the Government, with a total built area of \u200b\u200b1,600 m2, is composed of hexagonal with facades Avenue Maria Luisa and Paseo de las Delicias, two stories high, in the center of a courtyard surrounded by covered arcades. The building system is the conventional time, brick walls, unidirectional fabric, tile roofs, in walls and floors hydraulic mortar, woodwork, highlighting the beams decorated the rooms in mahogany.


this building to say two main facades, one facing the Paseo de las Delicias mentioned and one for access from the Avenida de Maria Luisa. Both were inspired by the Renaissance style, the first cover is clearly inspired ornamental details of one of his last works, the Museum of Art San Diego opened in 1926, taking elements such as the use of small arches enclosing a shell molding in the arch of the front door or window of the auction clearly inspired by those in the front of the hospitality of the Santa Cruz de Toledo. For the cover of the Avenida de Maria Luisa, the composition is divided into two zones, the lowest to the balcony, with clear resolve plateresco elements, choosing as the reason shells, in some detail in the Pilatre Baroque. However, for the top, topped with a pediment of undulating forms, with vase, which is part of the crescent-shaped balcony, surrounded by border and ending in a wavy ledge.

Detail of the cover of the front of the Paseo de las Delicias .

For the facades of temporary pavilions inspired by English plateresco, registering the decoration at the top of them, leaving the rest clean ornamentation. Are made entirely in wood and coated with a clear objective exhibitionist.

Private companies were forced to locate their stand in the malls, because the contents were all exposed state were distributed as follows:

Another sample that were made this building technological advances Americans, he could see copper plumbing, central heating regulated by singles, an electric refrigerator, a washing machine and mechanical and up to fifty-four applications other than electricity.

Pavilion cinema, later became the children's theater Juan de la Cueva.

In one of the temporary pavilions, the cinema was installed. It was a movie theater with 350 people, which projected a selection of films from two hundred thousand, a rate of more than six per day, on economic themes, historical, military and United States, including one on Hoover president's trip to English America, another on the making of a newspaper, surgery or automobile manufacturing. All these films were of a U.S. propaganda activities. Certainly these displays caused a wide expectation.

flag in the other provisional or Exhibits, the exhibits were installed in the departments of Agriculture, Interior and Commerce, a map light to the steamship lines all over the world show coinage, stamp and tickets; miniature reproduction of the Grand Canyon for two thousand light bulbs. Reproduction of an airport ten model airplanes, railway construction, etc.

Postal a side view of the cinema . Also

also installed a powerful orthogonal station, which reported to Seville with the rest of the world as well as a musical center of the Victor Talking Machine with powerful speakers outside the building that allowed listening to music at a great distance. It was also very named by the press for his curiosity to install a beam of light cast on the entrance of the exhibition allowed to count the number of pedestrians passing by.

Judging by press reports, the U.S. Pavilion was one of the more attracted a large audience, since among other activities organized military band concerts at Pershing and as mentioned above the films and the emission music by the powerful speakers.

Exhibitions Pavilion.

Once the sample was removed temporary exhibition hall, cediéndose later at the cinema hall City Hall, which became the Children's Theatre Juan de la Cueva, who had an irregular activity in the years after the sample. It was a municipal building and the canon Antonio Manes Jerez, who served as director. Its creation is dated January 30, 1937, was the first area of \u200b\u200bthe city created to host performances aimed at children. He remained standing until the sixties of last century was demolished.

therefore only remains of that shows the government building where he stayed from the end of the contest the consulate of that country, until 1986, became a consular agency and since 2004 in Madariaga headquarters of Contemporary Art Collection, on loan from the council by agreement.

noteworthy is the excellent preservation of the building during the time it was used as a U.S. embassy, \u200b\u200bwhich has made it possible to arrive until today this legacy of the exhibition.
