Описание к видео Chattel houses of Barbados

Chattel House was originally the design of the plantation workers home.

In early settlement days, home owners were not necessarily landowners, but part of a tenantry system of the plantations.

Chattel house is a Barbadian term for a small moveable wooden house that working class people would occupy.

The term goes back to the plantation days when the home owners would buy houses designed to move from one property to another. The word "chattel" means movable property so the name was appropriate.
