From a recent ebay auction. Small thatched building out front (no longer there) with the A frame in the background.

Poor little hut. One of the casualties of the Hurricanes in 2005. It covered some of the water pipes and connections.

To give you a point of reference for that shot, the coral stand with the torches and fern-wood tiki is the edge of the drive way.

If you look just past the hut you will notice the thatching does not cover the entire roof line. The roof above what is now the inside gardens used to be windows to let in light. The inside gardens were like a small tropical rain forest.

Here is an interior shot from around the same time frame:

Looking from inside towards the street.

And the inside gardens under the part of the roof not thatched.
