Last Thursday Toby and I visited the Casa Popenoe. It is a very old colonial building in Antigua that had really fallen apart until Dr. Popenoe bought it in the 1920s and began do restoration with his wife. They filled the house with period furniture, decorating, etc. and continued to live in it. Nowadays, two of Dr. Popenoe's daughters still live in the house/property and open the doors from only 2-4pm daily for people to view it. The garden, rooms, and kitchen are very nicely maintained, and there is even a pigeon loft that has access to the roof. It's very nice the family still want to share this space with the community.
