Invercauld Great House & Hotel
Two of the most impressive buildings are both hotels: the 1894 Invercauld Great House & Hotel and the Waterloo Guest House, both west on Main St and splendid examples of the Jamaican vernacular style, with their shady wooden verandas and gingerbread trim.

iron bridge
Immediately east of the Hendricks Building is an old iron bridge, a good spot for watching crocodiles waiting for tidbits thrown by tourists from the riverside berths. Trawlers lie at anchor immediately south of the bridge and here you can watch fish being hauled ashore onto the wharfs.

Parish Church of St John the Evangelist
Foremost among the historic structures worth checking out is the yellow-brick Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, built in 1837. The airy interior is graced by wooden porticoes and a stately balcony, while the graves around the back cemetery date from the 17th century. Two blocks west are the porticoed courthouse and the town hall, with lofty pillars, and beyond that a simple Roman Catholic church.
