Chapter 22 - Chattel Houses Icons of Freedom

 

Barbados Chattel Houses are scattered throughout the island. They are tiny  little wooden homes sitting on rocks with no foundation. Thats becuase the land was usually owned by the planters who would often evict the ownrrs. In that case the homes were packed on carts and moved to another plot.

You will see them beside some of the most stunning landscapes, on the hils and beside the beaches. Many are right beside deluxe villas, mingled right into the fabric of the island. 

Living next to many of the the luxury villas and stately homes are the chattel house owners, sugar cane cutters, fishermen, working men and women, along with Hollywood stars. 

It is a landscape of stylish, stately homes flanked by tiny, unpretentious dwellings of everyday folk. The tiny houses, some say, are inappropriately close to deluxe holiday accommodation. By visitor expectations, Chattel home may well seem like an eye soar. Yet, the majority of Chattel Home owners take pride in their modest house and keep them clean and tidy.
