MARTIN MEDINA, Geiser Gerardo y GUERRERO BACA, Luis Fernando. Interventions for Reusing the Former Coast Customs Service Building at Frontera, Tabasco, Mexico. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.13, pp.32-42. ISSN 2007-249X.
This REPORT describes the intervention processes that are taking place in one of the most important monuments of built heritage in Tabasco state, Mexico: the Nineteenth-century former Coast Customs Service Building at Frontera (a harbour in the southeast of the Gulf of Mexico), which is relevant for its history, fabric singularity and composition quality. Work in progress seeks to enhance the space potential of this construction for adaptation as a navigation museum and, thus, to use it as a vehicle to recover the historical memory of a town that until half a century ago had great significance, but which is now being absorbed by industrial development. The intervention stands out because it has allowed rescuing diverse forgotten construction procedures, such as the use of seashells blocks, marseille tiles, lime mortar and pozzolanic materials.
