Old houses in Woodbrook Trinidad and Tobago - a photographers paradise. With some extras photos of old houses in Petit Bourg, Curepe, Tunapuna, and Caroni, Trinidad and Tobago Check out my photo blog at www.mjphotorama.com
There were so many beautiful wooden homes in Woodbrook...Such a pity we are not interested in preserving the good past. Simply love your work...Feeling inspired to do the same...
Nice seeing those old houses in my old neighbourhood. I grew up at the corner of Cornelio St. and Wrightson Road across from John Donaldson. Was in T&T Last year and the neighborhood has sure changed, all businesses my old home is now a grocery store called Banfield Enterprise. I took my son to see my old home. What a difference.
Very Nice, You Should Go to Gatacre St Woodbrook. About the. Fourth House on the Left Side Before Tragarete Road., And The Western Main Road Opposite St James Hospital, Two Old Ones Very Beautiful.
Wow, I grew up in Fitt Street, second house up from Ariapita Avenue towards the playground.Woodbrook was a paradise when I was a kid,no crime and very peaceful.
So where do you live now? My mother always told me that she wanted to purchase property in woodbrook. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Oh my goodness I am a lover of old houses and this just made my day. My relatives thinks I have lost it 😀 but I am insistant on getting and renovating an old house without losing its charm. And it will happen one day. Thank you for this walk back in time. Regards 🗽
I too like to see old house and it gives me great joy to see then renovated with the original architectural design on tack. Thanks for watching ... don't give up on your dream
Its a great idea. I'm currently my grandfather's house...colonial period, built in the 30s'....but the cost is going and going, but we cant stop. I guess thats why many ppl knock them down (unfortunately). I just can't knock it down especially since my 93 yo grandfather inherited it from his father & uncle who were the Tacarigua train station master & orange grove estate manager. The house was the estate manager's home.
Excellent. Thank you. Trinidad has allowed their cultural beauty in architecture to slip through their finger. They have nothing in Trinidad to compare with these structural art . Yet they allow these beautiful houses to decay and or loose it original unique form. These houses are a national treasure, not those awful Chinese construction. Consecutive individuals in govt are so busy stealing money, they take no pride in the cultural features which can keep Trinidad a place of architectural interest in the Carribean and preserve it for posterity .
Happy Sunday 🌺🌺🌺 It's great to know that there are other people who appreciate these old buildings. There are many in woodbrook and the owners have maintained the original structure. I found some awesome ones in St. Joseph. I also did a video on those too. Did you see it?
This is a Play ground not A Park. Was A Residential area for Centuries. And Should be kept so.The Late Eric Williams the first Prime Minister of Trinidad &"Tobago lived in Cornelio Street Wood brook with his Daughter Erica.
These houses were good for their day, but today it will be a better idea to make better, more efficient use of real estate by erecting high-rises with miles of lush vegetation in between. There need to be widespread use of solar-cells & rechargeable batteries. High mountain & hill tops need to be given the priority of water tower construction. And just like the U.S., Canada, U.K, & other countries, illegal immigrants need to be tracked down & deported. Especially when they're not contributing to the betterment of the country.

In Trinidad, Port of Spain is the main place of sex work, including street prostitution on Roberts and Murray Streets.
Why do you feel that there was a need to post this comment on my video?
Hi Martina, but those houses are like aKINGSTON & ST ANDREW JAMAICA, if you did NOT SAY where you are, I would have no idea.. Cheers, from N J
I just love taking photos of these old houses. I just see art. I might do another video before leaving Trinidad
