Many of the houses in the Caribbean built by the African laboring class, enslaved or free, were done in such a way to be mobile as required during the plantation economy. Homes built to be taken apart, so the beams were often numbered. Here is an example on Market St, a block away from my studio. #thehousethatfreedbuilt #lavaughnbelle #freegut #ledgersfromalostkingdom (at Christiansted)
