Save the Boissiere House
 12 Queen's Park West, the Boissiere House, known to many as "Gingerbread House",
is one of Trinidad and Tobago's architectural treasures. It is also under threat of demolition. What can we do to save this
beautiful and historic building?
Here are more things that you want to consider doing to help:
- Tell people the Boissiere House is in danger
- Forward the address
of this web site to everyone you know who might be concerned
- Write a letter to the editor
- If you work in the media,
try to get your newspaper or station to run a story
- If you have a blog, write something there
- Put a "Save the
Boissiere House" badge on your blog or web site. Get the code here.
- If you own a camera, stop by 12 Queen's Park West,
take some photos, post them online, or just forward them to friends
- If you know someone in the Ministry of Culture,
tell them you're concerned and ask them to speak to their superior about saving the Boissiere House
- Call Town and Country
and urge them not to give planning permission for a new building on this site
- Call the National Trust and ask what you
can do to help (tel 868-623-5941 or 868-624-6477)
- If you know a politician of any party on any level, tell them you're
concerned and ask them to talk to their party leadership
- Read about the history of the house in Olga Mavrogordato's
book Voices in the Street, or John Newel Lewis's book Ajoupa, and share this with others
- Come to the event being planned
at Alice Yard (80 Roberts Street, Woodbrook) on Friday 22 February to discuss why this and other historic buildings are worth
preserving.
- Write to boissierehouse@gmail.com and tell us you'd like to be on a mailing list to hear about further efforts
- If you know a member of the Boissiere family that owns the house, ask them to consider putting a no-demolition clause
in the sale contract, or to negotiate with the government to arrive at a reasonable sale price that might make it easier to
save the building
- And if you are a multi-millionaire property developer, consider doing something truly enlightened:
buy the house, pay to have it restored, put it to some use that will not damage its fabric.
