This postcard, mailed in 1911, shows that Pedro Castle, which had fallen into ruins, was already considered a tourist attraction. The image reveals the stone gables and other original features.
Pockets in the stonework revealed the exact position of roof and floor beams, and surviving plasterwork showed the placement of internal walls and their early treatment. A section of wall in the room you are standing in has been left as it was found.
This image of Greenwood House, Jamaica, illustrates the Caribbean tradition of placing living spaces on the verandas, which were open in some parts and louvred in others. |
