Falmouth, Jamaica is home to "one of the richest collections of architecture in the Caribbean." With this interactive map and timeline, architecture students, researchers, and enthusiasts can explore this architecture and its history. The Falmouth Project was developed by Louis P. Nelson of the University of Virginia's Department of Architectural History in collaboration with Falmouth Heritage Renewal and the Jamaican National Heritage Trust. On the Explore Falmouth Section of this page, visitors can check out over 700 buildings by Location, Date, and Use (e.g. Residential, Commercial, or Educational). Each building record features photographs, a short description, and a copy of the survey form used to gather information. Meanwhile, the Essays section of this website (also titled the Falmouth Field Guide) features longer descriptions about a number of particularly interesting structures. Visitors can browse these short essays by street or district.
