The Barbados Experience “Bridgetown possesses something about it that grows on one, ...The world is punctuated with other towns, generally better looking, often more uncomely, but circle the globe and you will find no place resembling Bridgetown..”
George H H McLellan 1907, Barbados Back in Time
The Colonnade in Bridetown which was opened in 1898, houses Tiffany & Co, Little Switzerland, The Runway and forty other interesting, and for the most part, owner run stores The clock over the façade of the building was made in November 1898 by the Thomas Clock Company of Thomaston, Connecticut, USA. This building is a handsome example of the architecture of that period with its cast iron work, ornate parapet, central pediment and its arched first floor door openings. It is probably one of the only early remnants of traditional architecture remaining on Broad Street. Photo: Andrew Hulsmeier
