<p class="MsoNormal ContentPasted1" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt">This research explores how the carport, known as the marquesina in Puerto Rico, became the social and cultural center in many Puerto Rican homes during the mid-twentieth century. The marquesina
for many families is stage on which both daily, yearly, and important life events are enacted to an intimate audience of family, friends, and the local community. This research argues that this liminal space, both public and private, inherited the traditional
uses of the batey, the pre-modern earthen yard where much of daily life took place. Functions such as cleaning, childcare, birthday parties, Christmas traditions, quinceañeras, weddings, and funerals amongst others have all been held in the carport, with the
care and maintenance often relegated to female-coded persons. <o:p class="ContentPasted1">
