Devon House
26 Hope Rd., Kingston

This restored great house is located in the heart of New Kingston, near the Terra Nova Hotel. The home was built in 1889 for 10,000 pounds by a Venezuelan gold fortune and the family lived in the home until the 1920s.

Today the historic structure is filled with antiques and antique reproductions from the 1880s (done by Things Jamaican). Tours are given every 15 minutes as visitors arrive and include a look at the master bedroom, the sewing room with an illegal gambling room upstairs (the stairs are hidden in the ceiling), a sunny ballroom with Wedgewood style ceiling, original chandelier, and an English piano,

Devon House also include a nice shopping area and restaurants.
