商品簡介
Falmouth, Jamaica was a port town that gained wealth in the 1800s for shipping the sugar produced in Trelawny. This book explores the history of Falmouth by examining the architecture of the city. Arranged by "tours" of different parts of the town, the authors consider the history of the town from 1769, when it was founded, all the way to 2008 when it was re-conceptualized by the construction of a cruise ship terminal. The "tours" include areas like Water Square and Market Street, the Wharf District, and Duke Street. The book includes extensive photographs and illustrations of buildings and floor plans to help the reader visualize the extraordinary town.
