The Devon House in Kingston is the home of Jamaica’s first black millionaire, George Stiebel. Stiebel was of black and Jewish descent, and made his millions through gold mining in South America. He constructed his home in the late 19th century, and to this day, the interior of the mansion is preserved in the fashion of the time. Since the Devon House was made a national monument in 1990, it has become a cultural heritage site that offers tours, is open to the public, and serves as a nexus of the Kingston community. Among the shops and restaurants that now surround the house is its famous ice cream shop, Devon I Scream, selling its eponymous treat, the Devon Ice Cream.
