Elaborate please.



He destroyed the old town after a storm hit the town, I don't remember the year. But what is striking about the thing is not his destroying it, but his total disregard for the views of the townspeople opposed to his project. The fact that the majority of the houses were built by "cocolos" and descendants of west indians appears to be the chief motivator behind his decision.


That's news to me but not surprising.

Interestingly enough, the French Quarter of New orleans was actually built by the Spanish IN Spanish style but yet it's still called the French Quarter. The idiot Balaguer, who had once visited the city, commented on how the French Quarter still preserved the forms of France....LOL...que payaso.



His idiocy is more than plain enough when we can see similar buildings on our very own colonial zone.


Exactly! I guess he was blind in more ways then one.


He destroyed the town of Samana What a pity !


Elaborate please.


the architecture of Puerto Plata for example is where I have seen the most of what is considered West Indian Gingerbread Houses a style very common and very charming on the wooden houses in the Danish West Indies and through out the lesser Antilles Samana was chock a block with it before Balaguer had it torn down for his port project only one or two {the Church} remain Pity!


What a dirtbag. Had it been built by the Spanish he probably would've masturbated to the structures.
