PALACIO DE LOS CAPITANES GENERALES
Ce palais abrite l'actuel musée de la ville. Construit de 1776 à 1791, sous la direction du capitaine général Felipe Fondesviela, marquis de la Torre, le palais est inauguré par l'illustre Don Luis de las Casas. A partir de cette date, et pour plus de cent ans, le palais devient la résidence officielle des capitaines généraux nommés par le roi d'Espagne, représentant la première autorité civile et militaire de l'île. Au total, 65 gouverneurs s'y succèdent. En 1834, Miguel de Tacón apporte à l'édifice de grandes transformations, encore visibles aujourd'hui. Les derniers prisonniers de droit commun en sont délogés, et les cellules, réaménagées en ateliers, sont louées à des artisans. A la fin de la domination espagnole, le palais accueille successivement les gouvernements issus de la première et de la deuxième interventions américaines (1899-1902 et 1906-1909). Il fait office de palais présidentiel entre 1902 et 1920. Par la suite, la mairie de La Havane y tient ses séances de conseil jusqu'en 1967, date à laquelle commence sa restauration. Le musée de la Ville ouvre ses portes l'année suivante. Ce bâtiment est sans nul doute le plus important de l'héritage colonial espagnol. Avec le palais voisin, celui du Segundo Cabo, et la cathédrale, il forme une trilogie du baroque cubain. La façade donnant sur la place compte neuf arcades prenant appui sur dix colonnes, couronnées de l'écusson espagnol. Les moulures, corniches, et autres éléments décoratifs, ont été reprises par bien des architectes de l'époque pour d'autres palais havanais. Vous ne manquerez pas de constater que les pavés de la rue Tacón, juste devant la façade du palais, sont en bois... On dit que le cliquetis des roues des calèches sur la pierre troublait le sommeil d'un capitaine général et de son épouse et qu'un aide de camp, désireux de s'attirer les faveurs de son maître, a fait alors remplacer les pavés de pierre par des pavés de bois.
This palace houses the current museum of the city. Built from 1776 to 1791, under the leadership of Captain General Felipe Fondesviela, Marquis de la Torre, the palace is inaugurated by the illustrious Don Luis de las Casas. From this date, and for over a hundred years, the palace became the official residence of the captains-general appointed by the King of Spain, representing the first civilian and military authority of the island. In total, 65 governors succeed one another. In 1834, Miguel de Tacón brought to the building of great transformations, still visible today. The last prisoners of common law are dislodged, and the cells, redeveloped in workshops, are rented to craftsmen. At the end of Spanish rule, the palace successively hosts the governments of the first and second American interventions (1899-1902 and 1906-1909). It serves as a presidential palace between 1902 and 1920. Subsequently, the Havana City Council holds its council meetings until 1967, when it begins its restoration. The City Museum opens its doors the following year. This building is undoubtedly the most important of the Spanish colonial heritage. With the neighboring palace, that of Segundo Cabo, and the cathedral, it forms a trilogy of Cuban Baroque. The facade overlooking the square has nine arches resting on ten columns, crowned with the Spanish crest. Moldings, cornices, and other decorative elements were taken over by many architects of the time for other Havanese palaces. You will not fail to notice that the cobblestones of Tacón Street, just in front of the facade of the palace, are made of wood ... It is said that the rattling of the carts on the stone disturbed the sleep of a captain general and his wife and an aide-de-camp, eager to win the favor of her master, then had the stone pavers replaced with wooden pavers.

Staten Island
The three-story granite and red brick Second Empire style building which occupies a central location on the grounds of the former Coast Guard Station at the foot of Bay Street, St. George, Staten Island. has had a long and distinguished history of government service first as the main office of the Lighthouse Service Depot for the Third Lighthouse District, and later as the Administration Building when the compound became a United States Coast Guard Base.
Well built, of fine design and materials, this building is expressive of the era when, under the direction of Alfred B. Hullett, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department for nine years from 1865 to 1874 , many important and impressive buildings were built by the federal government. Among these were the old State, War, and Navy Department Building located next to the White House in Washington, D.C., a tour-de force of French Second Empire design, and the huge Second Empire style post offices in New York City and St. Louis, Missouri; the former, located at the foot of City Hall Park, was demolished in 1939 , while the latter, now being handsomely restored, is a designated Landmark of St .Louis. The small but beautiful office building at St. George, Staten lsland, erected for the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1868-1871, clearly shows that A.B. Hullett gave as much thought and attention to buildings of small scale as to larger ones.
The French Second Empire style office building as completed in 1871, was the square portion which now forms the center section of the structure and it was constructed of the best materials. The foundations and the stone trim are of a pale grey granite liberally streaked with veins of pink and flecked with tiny specks of black. The walls are of red sandstone and hard-pressed red brick of excellent quality, while the mansard roof is covered with dark grey imbricated slates arranged in a hexagonal design - a most striking combination of colors and materials, now concealed beneath white paint. It is interesting to note that when the wings were added in 1901, the original Second Empire design (executed in the same materials) was used throughout except for the windows, where one-aver-one sashes popular at the turn-of-the-century were substituted for the two-aver-four sashes of the 1860s. The foundations up to and including the water table are of rock-faced granite as are the window enframements, the quoins at the corners, the belt course at second floor level and the square stone porch at the main entrance.
The walls of the first story are constructed of random ashlar blocks of red sandstone while those of the second story. Above the granite belt course are of hard-pressed red brick laid in a running bond. Originally, the building presented the same basie arrangement of openings on all four sides. The front having a centered entrance with a single window above and paired windows at the sides on both first and second floors; the rear identical, but without a porch at the entrance; and the sides with the same design, except that all openings were windows. All windows contained two-overfour sashes which are still in place. Each of the four sides of the sloping mansard roof had three metal-framed, flat-topped dormer windows with two-over-four sashes and decorative "Flemish" scrolls at the base where the enframements met the roof at the eaves just above the wide cornice which contained a metal-lined gutter atop a wooden frieze decorated with long and short horizontal wooden panels. There was a small square cupola in the center of the roof to aid in ventilating the building.
