HISTORIC RESTORATION

This picture shows one of the Magnificent seven buildings located around the Queen's Park Savannah known as Stollmeyer's Castle. Once a magnificent building now stands a old and beaten down although the brick work and the architectural design gives the building an invincible appearance. The building is one of many historical buildings located around the Queen's Park Savannah. Something that is similar to all of these buildings is that these structures are deteriorating as the years pass. These buildings represent an important part of the nations history and should be conserved for future generations and also to showcase the historical artefacts of our nation. Currently, this need for conservation and restoration of our cultural artefacts has been realized by our heads and now work is being done to bring back this building and others like it to their former glory (see picture below). 

According to Tim Hall in Urban Geography, cultural and historic buildings  can be considered as cultural artefacts. According to Aylin Orbaslic historic buildings are an important part of the urban environment and conservation and preservation of these buildings promote national identity that stimulate tourism.
