The Lake House Moneague

History

Built in the late eighteenth 1756 century during the time known in Jamaica as the 'Georgian period'( 1720-1850,),in a town once considered to be the town of the landed gentry and against a backdrop of beautiful landscape.

The Lake House is poised majestically atop a hill in cool town of Moneague, in the parish of St Ann.

The name was coined as lakes can be seen from of the house. The original stone foundation can be seen upon entering the property and the timber wood used for the construction of the upper house and living quarters can be seen within the house and on a brief trip into to the basement.

The two-storey building with its high ceilings, polished wood floors and original shuttered casement windows offers a mirror into regal Jamaican old-style country living.

The Lake House remains one of the structures the town is famous for.
