Colbeck Castle (c.1720), Jamaica

            Colbeck Castle (c.1720), St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica. "Twentieth-century tradition associates the construction of this massive house and complex with Colonel John Colbeck who came to Jamaica in 1655 with the first English expedition.1 Close examination of the ruins, however, make fairly clear that the first phase of construction on this building was completed sometime in the first half of the eighteenth century and probably before 1740. Tradition also claims that the house was never completed, but there is clear physical evidence to suggest that it was."
