"Said to be the oldest structure on the island, Wallblake House is also the onlysurviving18th-century plantation home thathas been restoredand that can be toured. Located in the Valley, capital of Anguilla , the1787 property was once part of a 97-acre sugar and cotton plantation. Bestowed to the Catholic Church in 1976, itwas abandoned until it was finally refurbished in 2004. The main home, which suffered a fire at the hands of the invading French forces, and the outbuildings are intact in design. Though the house is currently used as a rectory, tours can be arranged by emailing in advance."
