Belmont Great House

Parish: St. Ann

Belmont was owned by John Davis during the last century. The house was built in the eighteenth century and apart from Davis was owned by several persons.

The approach to the house is through a gateway in a stone wall. It has a broad entrance step supported by triple arches which were once topped by a portico to protect the front door. Inside is the front parlour. The house is in despair but the mahogany parelling with wall paper can still be seen. To the left across the barbeque is a group of stone out buildings including a kitchen, store room and a three seater privy and a look up with heavy chairs let into the wall which allows one to presuppose it dates from the days of slavery.

Belmont Great House is presently owned by the Urban Development Corporation (UDC).
