Rebuilding Kingston

This topic is so extensive that I will have to come back later and do a great deal more research and writing - so what is here now is just the start!

 

The determination to get Kingston back on its feet as quickly as possible is clearly illustrated in this advertisement about the Jamaica Times, which appeared early in April 1907.

Newspapers continued to appear.

Churches continued to function.

By 1910 the rebuilding of Kingston was well under way.

 

Below are some examples of the new buildings.
