Enjoy a little bit of TCI history

Keeping in touch with the history that National Colony Realty has, we have upgraded our real estate magazine pages to include a little bit of the history of Turks and Caicos Islands. For instance, in the previous quarter, we featured the first telephone and telephone boot on island, and a walking path that residents used to tract from one settlement to the other.

In this latest edition, we featured the first airport terminal which our company founder Bengt Soderqvist played a vital role in developing, and the original island pride store at its inception. Island Pride has moved to several locations and has developed into one of the major food stores on the island, and therefore, seeing its original photos exudes a lot of history.

Keep watching for the updated editions of the TCREA real estate magazine and see what we feature next.

See below a sneek peek of what we are showcasing. This photo is a track road that residents travelled, to go to the settlement of Blue Hills. This photo is amazing and shows history to me because it proves the stories that my father and grandfather talked about, i.e. stories about walking to school and arriving with dusty feet etc. For others it is historic because it shows the vast difference between the area then and now.
