Résumé : Written on verso: "View of the driveway connecting Havana and Vedado showing huge portions of the new concrete seawall broken up by the waves during the storm on Sept. 9th, 1919. They were carried entirely across the new boulevard being constructed along the seawall, then over the double street car track and finally deposited in the middle of the roadway at the foot of Santa Clara battery, as shown. These blocks were so large and heavy that it was necessary to blast them into smaller sections for removal. The rough slabs in the foreground are pieces of the concrete base of the new boulevard mentioned above." "Photo by Harris Bros., Co., O'Reilly 104, Havana, Cuba." Also: "Used 1919." Probably used by the Munson Steamship Line in their publication, The Cuba Review.

The photographer labeled this picture "center of island." This is a photograph of the home of a poor peasant family. The home is of the bohio, thatched palm wood huts On the bottom of the outside walls you can see large rocks that are placed there to help with the rough winds, particularly during the hurricane season. There are many flowers pots hanging from the house as decorations. A mother and child are standing in front of the house while a dog lays asleep a few feet away. The back of the house is lined with royal palm trees.
