Jamaican Houses : A Vanishing Legacy (3 Revised edition)

Jamaica is famous for its Georgian houses but many people are unaware of the vernacular architecture from which they evolved.

Anghelen Phillips illustrates, in her distinctive and peculiar style, a wide and varied range of these buildings from all over the island.

Geoffrey Pinto enhances the drawings with a brief history of these buildings, reviewing their current state and looking at the Architectural Heritage Movement in Jamaica in recent years.

This third edition is an enduring contribution to the preservation of Jamaica’s architectural heritage and to the foresight to those who conceived and executed it.
