The Chattel House: Icon of Bajan Culture

Memory Built in Wood. The belongings house ended up being a sort of portable memory. Every board brought a story: a birth, a quarrel, a pledge, a cyclone made it through, a prayer whispered through floorboards, a pot singing on a coal stove. Households expanded and contracted, spaces added and got rid of, home moving shape the method identity shifts through generations.
" This is why we never lose we humour," the old man stated. "A people who can lift they whole house and proceed? You can't break them. You can just teach them different ways to stand."
Your house was not simply shelter.
It was testimony.

A declaration sculpted in pine and mahogany: We will not be caught again.
