In this book ‘The Monuments of Saba – The Island of Saba a Caribbean example’ the author, architect and lecturer Frans H. Brugman, gives a rather accurate description of the typical traditional Saban architecture. He emphasizes the characteristic red-and-white painted cottages and avails ample information regarding their origin, relation, and development. It is to regret that the future of these small traditional wooden cottages, which were built since the seventeenth century, is at stake.
