How new homes were already being built by order of Trujillo all around the city and interior. There was no permits provided for homes that employed wood in the walls/frame or zinc roofing. All had to be done in cinder blocks and concrete, front yard, parking, etc...

Fascinating pics, Pich.... Where is this house located?

By the Zoo, was there until it was demolished long ago!

Pinchardo, I'm trying to do a drawing / painting of the Temple and Hospital of San Nicolas de Bari which is currently in ruins here in Santo Domingo. Have you by any chance found any drawings / foto's of that structure??
