A Glimpse of Gentrification

Here is a picture of an old colonial home in Wood Brook, Port of Spain. Though it has been altered in small ways due to renovations, the old design is still predominant. Also in this picture there is a huge contrast. The old structure to the front with a very modern skyscraper as the backdrop. This is an example of Gentrification in Port of Spain, where the old buildings are torn down to make room for modern expensive structures.
