Old Treasures

I'll be showing you guys pictures of old and historic buildings found around Kuwait. You will find that the architecture of these buildings is very different than that of today. Prepare yourselves for a ride into the past.
 
 
 The photograph above is of Dickson House Culrural Centre, which was originally the residence of the first British political agent Colonel Dickson. It is a classic example of early 19th century Kuwait architecture. The style of design is a mixture of European colonial and Arabic.
 
These photographs are of "Dewan Saleh Al Mulla" which is a traditional gathering of men house or area. This simply designed building was built in 1919. Teakwood is used for the doors and the window frames as you can see which gives a very traditional and authentic sense to the whole building.
 
There are other numerous old buildings that have been carefully looked after and at times reconstructed, however mainting the simplistic and traditional Kuwaiti style. These buildings are extremely important and their histories must be treasured by the country's people.

  1. I was worried when I was about to purchase my house with my bad credit score. I was declined a loan from my bank and couldn't get it. I explained to a friend, he then introduced me to the greatest man of all time ( Mr Benjamin Lee) . I explained my problem to him by sending a text to his mail and he helped me get everything solved in the space of 3 working days. He granted me a loan of 3,000,000.00 Euros to pay for my house in which I also used to expand my business as well. May God bless him! you can apply for a quick loan from Mr Benjamin Lee who is working with a group of investors..He’s the wizard everyone is talking about all over the internet..Contact him via Mail on 247officedept@gmail.com.
