Mille Fleurs was built in 1904 by George Brown of the Trinidad Trading Company as a gift to Dr. Enrique Prada who served as the Mayor of Port of Spain from 1914 to 1917. Named among Trinidad’s “Magnificent Seven” buildings and recognised by the public as national heritage site, the restoration project has significantly enhanced the morale of the national community.
UDeCOTT was proud to manage this project which included the restoration and transformation of the building from a private residence to a public museum.
Another building named “The Mews” has been constructed on the site of the former stables, at the rear of the property which contains offices for the museum staff; a restoration and heritage library; storage of antiques; public bathrooms and a small cafeteria and shop for the visitors.
Landscaped gardens and ambient exterior lighting complements the architecture and creates an elegant contrast to the Savannah at night. Seating is also available in a designated area on the grounds to allow visitors to view and enjoy the gardens.
