Jamaican homesArchitecture reflects a synthesis of African, Spanish, and baroque British influences. Plantation houses were built with stone and wood, and town houses typically were built with wood, often on a stone or cement foundation. The kitchen, washroom, and "servant" quarters were located separately or at the back of the main building.
