House beautiful

When I lived in Grenada, everytime I was driving north, I would look at this old house along the Grand Anse main roag going towards town. It was dilapidated and run down, the land around it unkempt, but something about it was attractive.

A friend of mine came to visit and without me saying anything to him, he thought the same thing. I was therefore very happy to see that somebody has started to renovate it. They've changed the external colour and I was trying to peek inside but the glass distorted the picture.

I did take some pictures of the house from the outside though.....

And these are a pictures of the chairs they are restoring.

Yamfoot, the house is gorgeous! The pic doesn't do it justice. From what I hear some elderly people lived in it; the house got severely damaged after Ivan, hence the renovation work. Also from what I can gather, the house is VERY old.

Nice house for true but those window are those pvc ugly things the Chinese are selling to everybody here too. Cheap and cheap looking...Some jalousies (wooden louvres) and some wooden shutters would have been nice....well at least somebody is renovating it.
