    Photo Description

    The governor's mansion, or King’s House, was built on the foundations of the demolished Spanish Hall of Audience in Spanish Town, Saint Catherine, Jamaica. Thomas Craskell, the Island Engineer, was responsible for preparing the building's plans. The building was completed in 1762 while Sir William Henry Lyttleton was Governor. The mansion was destroyed during a fire in 1925 and now houses the Jamaican People's Museum of Crafts and Technology. In the image, a man sits on the wall of Emancipation Square close to a nearby traffic signal. Slide labeled Spanish Town.
