Trafalgar Road forms a T-junction with Knutsford Boulevard, and then swings east toward Hope Road. Opposite the junction of Trafalgar and Hope Road is the immaculate Devon House , 26 Hope Rd (Tues-Sat 9.30am-5pm, tours run throughout the day, last tour at 4.30pm; J$200 including guided tour) - still the grandest house in the city.
Devon House was built in 1881 by Jamaica's first black millionaire, building contractor George Stiebel. Born in Kingston in 1820, Stiebel made his fortune gold-mining in Venezuela, returning home in 1873 to snap up properties throughout Jamaica. Among these was Devon Pen, where he built the house that was his Kingston home until he died in 1896. Bought by the Jamaican government in 1967, it has gradually been furnished with West Indian and European antiques as well as more modern Jamaican reproductions. It makes for a diverting hour's exploration, in spite of the enforced
tour, which can be rushed and monosyllabic - don't be afraid to take your time.
The landscaped grounds make a fine place for a leisurely stroll. The former stables now house a handful of expensive gift-shops, but chief attractions are the shop selling heavenly homemade " I Scream ", and the Brick Oven bakery, which sells excellent gooey cakes and some of Kingston's best patties. There are also a couple of great restaurants here, detailed in "Eating".
