I'livate House. Nueva Luisa, Jovellancs, Cuba. Rubble masonry was used in the fort constructions and later on some modern constructions, where it has been well pointed to give a good finish to the work. Steel frames or reinforced concrete are generally used for office buildings when the structures exceed three stories in height. Reinforced concrete floors and roofs are frequently used and in some cases the entire building, including the walls^ is constructed of reinforced concrete. Stucco is much used on brick and rubble walls, and many residences in Habana are of this type of construction. Most buildings are constructed of fireproof materials, and as there are no furnaces, few fires occur. The building law of Habana was approved in 1861 and is out of date. It has, for example, no regulations for the construction of theatres. At present the interiors of the threatres in Habana, except the National Theater, which is fireproof, have a wood finish.
