Edificio de Águila y Dragones, 1927 Plateresque office building in Havana, Cuba.
The Edificio de Águila y Dragones rises 62 meters above Havana with ornate stone details and masonry arches on its exterior walls.
The Cuban Telephone Company constructed this building in September 1927, making it the tallest structure in Cuba at that time.
The building represents the expansion of North American telecommunications investments in Latin America during the early twentieth century.
The structure currently houses ETECSA, the national telecommunications company of Cuba, maintaining its original purpose as a communications center.
The International Telephone and Telegraph corporation, founded by the Behn brothers, initiated this project to replace an older telephone building.
