House Fence and Hurricane Shelter

Description

A wooden house founded on piles, with a gabled zinc roof. On the façade there is a wooden door and on one side, a couple of single-leaf windows that open outwards. On the outside, close to the side wall, a container on a barrel stands out. On the opposite side, a hurricane shutter made of straw and sticks, with a gable roof at ground level is notable. The house also has a fence made of sticks.
