Embajada Americana en La Habana, Cuba


Dear Philip,

Wallace Kirkman Harrison, the leader architect
of works such as the Rockefeller Center, the
UN headquarters complex or the Lincoln
Center was also the architect of the American Embassy 
in Havana. According to Harrison architecture was 
something small, something you can touch with your 
fingers.
The other building in the picture in Streamline 
Moderne style is the celebrated Torre Olan designed  
by Cuban architect Antonio Santana and built in 1952.

Regards,
R
