1. Hacienda El Progreso Dance Hall

Description:

Days off for workers occurred only three times annually when work would be stopped at two in the afternoon for a dance in the "repugnant" dance hall. Described as a 19m by 5m zinc-roofed hut, it served alcohol for social events which were described as theatres of bloody scenes and grand orgies (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:102)
