حول

حقائق سريعة: Ovu građevinu od drveta i kamena podigao je prvi crni milioner Jamajke, Džordž Stibi Devon. Njegova priča o usponu od sina robova do vlasnika plantaža i bankara i danas inspiriše posetioce.

النقاط البارزة: U dvorištu kuće raste stablo hlebnog voća direktni potomak originalnog drveta sa broda Bounti. To je živi spomenik na kapetana Bleja, čoveka koji je doneo hlebno voće na Jamajku i promenio karipsku ishranu.
