These houses were open plan and built up on sturdy poles or stilts thus giving additional space for parking a car, hanging out the washing, and a little self-contained dwelling originally occupied by a servant. The galvanised roof overhung the house on all sides by about 1 metre and served to give shade, keep the house cool and stop the rain blowing in through the windows which were covered with anti-mosquito mesh. There were always a set of front and back steps and this house has a red back door which seems to have been constructed of a very sturdy metal, not like those in bygone days. The circular concrete construction is a rain water vat. Drain pipes running from the roof channel rain water into the vat. Prior to 1953 this was the only means of collecting fresh water for drinking and cooking. The Water Purifying Plant began producing potable water from the Demerara River in 1953, after which the vats went out of use. As this photo was taken in 1999, it is surprising to find a working example of a bygone era. Digital scan of original photograph.

Description
West wing of Barcelona’s recently renovated Aduana building which was the Old Customs House, built in 1902 by Enric Sagnier. He was a follower of Gaudí's style and he mixed Modernist and the Neo-Gothic styles in this building, which is very rich in engravings and sculptures. There are lots of Barcelona's coat of arms along its façades with the characteristic bat over them. The Spanish coat of arms is over the main gate between two big eagles.
