Figs 31 and 32 Art Nouveau house at Lino Perez #305, Trinidad; one of the few<br />

‘new’ Art Nouveau buildings in Trinidad and one in which, unusually, the style fo its<br />

fl oor is <strong>co</strong>nsistent with the rest of the Art Nouveau interior.<br />

Fig 35 Another example of the fl oral Art Nouveau <strong>co</strong>mmon to the<br />

towns of Las Villas - this example in Camilo Cienguegos #272 in<br />

Trinidad.<br />

Fig 33 Floral Art Nouveau tiles at Aleman<br />

#305 in Santa Clara.<br />

Fig 36 This pattern recurrs in towns across the province. (The<br />

example shown is from Camilo Cienguegos #272 in Trinidad.) The<br />

style feels more reminiscent of the Jugenstil, one of the many<br />

international strands of Art Nouveau in the <strong>Cuban</strong> melting pot.<br />
