Devon House


Devon House, built in 1881, was the residence constructed by George Stiebel, Jamaica's first black millionaire, in St. Andrew. 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; it is open to the public for tours and special events. Current concessions include the popular Devon House ice cream shop, an exclusive restaurant and numerous gift shops, such as Things Jamaica.

Devon House Ice Cream shop, housed on the grounds of the national landmark, is an iconic walk-in restaurant which offers sundaes and ice creams, featuring flavours of international favourites (such as Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate) and tropical delights (such as Mango, Pineapple and Soursop) alike. Devon House ice cream has become a favoured treat/dessert for many Jamaican families, especially on Sunday evenings.
