Nací en la Villa Jabón Candado de Contramaestre, Cuba, construida para Crusellas & Company, Inc. Las casas eran de un movimiento estilístico arquitectónico surgido a principios del siglo XX, el Estilo Renacimiento Colonial Español, que se extendió por los EE. UU. en los años 1920/30 y se vendían como un ‘kit’ de casa ordenado por correo a través de un catálogo de empresas como Sears Roebuck & Co. Tenía su propio sistema de energía solar de la época para calentar el agua. Crusellas, pionero en el uso de la publicidad, tuvo sus orígenes en La Habana, Cuba, donde los hermanos catalanes Juan y José Crusellas, se asociaron en 1863 para producir jabones. Ellos llevaron a cabo concursos anuales durante un período de 20 años en los que los ganadores recibían nuevas casas con su logotipo "Jabón Candado" en la fachada. I was born in a Villa Jabón Candado in Contramaestre, Cuba, constructed for Crusellas & Company, Inc. Architecturally, the houses were in the Spanish Colonial Revival style that swept the US in the 1920s/1930s, & were sold as mail order kit homes by companies such as Sears Roebuck & Co. It had its own system of solar energy for water heating of the time. Crusellas, a pioneer in the use of advertising, traces its origins to Havana, Cuba, where Catalonian brothers Juan & Jose Crusellas partnered in 1863 to produce soaps. It held annual contests over a period of 20 years in which winners received new houses with their "Jabón Candado" logo on the facade.

Villa de Contramaestre, Cuba-photo courtesy of my cousin Milagros Vega.  This is the house where I was born.  Won by Pedro Puig, our neighbor for many years.  My grandfather leased it to establish one of his law offices, and it was where my father also practiced after he graduated from the University of Havana. Unfortunately, the house was "customized" after we left Cuba to make a separate apartment on its beautiful terraced roof, disregarding the beautiful history of these landmarks.
