Devon House, built in 1881, is the former residence of George Stiebel (1820–1896),[1][2] Jamaica's first millionaire of colour, in St. Andrew.[3] He gained his wealth in Venezuela and returned to Jamaica. He was appointed as the Custos, a high civic post, of St. Andrew. His residence has been restored and is operated as a house museum and National Heritage Site.[4]
The property was set to be demolished in 1965, until the government of Jamaica stepped in to purchase it.[5]
