The Archbishop’s Palace was built in 1903 by the fifth Archbishop of Port of Spain, Patrick Vincent Flood, at a time when the wealthy estate-owning French Creoles were building on Maraval Road. In keeping with the dignity of his office, the Archbishop decided to construct a palatial residence. The plans for the proposed structure were drawn in Ireland by an Irish architect who obviously had leanings towards the Indian design. Archbishop’s Palace underwent many changes during 1968 and 1969. The building remains the official residence of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Port of Spain.

One of the Magnificent Seven, White Hall, as it is known today, was built in 1904 by Joseph Leon Agostini, a cocoa planter, at the time when “cocoa was king”. Construction commenced in 1904, in accordance with Mr. Agostini’s own design, said to be influenced by the Moorish Mediterranean style and reminiscent of the architecture of Corsica from where the Agostini family originated. Construction took approximately three years, although the roof was not completed until the building changed hands in 1907. This residence, the largest of the private homes on Maraval Road, was originally called Rosenweg.
