Résumé (en anglais)

To date unprotected, the terrain occupied by the distinctive historic housing typology known as the Bungalow in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital city, warrants attention. This paper will be concerned specifically with the bungalow neighbourhood of Vineyard Town, which is valuable in itself, as a repository of a housing type which emerged with the expansion of the Jamaican urban middle class in the early twentieth century. This site is also valuable because it forms part of the “connective tissue” so to speak, which relates to the historic Downtown of Kingston, which has recently been declared a protected area. Thus, Vineyard Town may be regarded as a “double-setting” so to speak, as the setting of the Bungalow, and as part of the wider environs of lower, downtown Kingston.
