Interpreting the Clues:
A history of fires, scavenging, and alterations obscured such evidence of Pedro Castle's original form.
The Castle's likely appearance in the 1830s, the period to which it has been restored, has to be put together by careful examination of the surviving structure and by extensive research. The pieces of the puzzle included early photographs of the castle as a ruin, archeological investigations, published descriptions, the memories of Caymanians, and comparable building[s] in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries.
Pedro Castle as it looked in 1994, before restoration began. |
