My dream is to one day buy a Chattel House in Barbados and go there, and never, ever come back. I would buy one of these photographs and frame it -- stick it in front of my nose to keep my dream alive--but at the moment that is not possible. So, if you don't mind, I will just keep on coming back here, to keep my dream alive. Thank you, so very much, for these photographslilygracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852989993331142653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13857717.post-81229193720890512092008-06-19T19:22:00.000-04:002008-06-19T19:22:00.000-04:00Ann, there are many Chattel Houses constructed eac...<I><B>Ann,</B></I> there are many Chattel Houses constructed each year. It is still the cheapest way to build a home on a piece of land. The ones built now are constructed with green or purple heart wood. This type of wood takes a long time to decay and is quite resistant to insects.<BR/><BR/>Even though Chattel Houses are still built, the elaborate carpentry of the old time homes may be missing in terms of architecture. <BR/><BR/>The government also provides low income Chattel Housed through National Housing Corporation.iqpLENShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521839116477683470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13857717.post-57461334947055520862008-06-19T18:34:00.000-04:002008-06-19T18:34:00.000-04:00quaint indeed.
