1. The Commisary at Hacienda El Progreso in 1905

Description:
This photograph is of the hacienda commisary which appears to have been located just below the Hacienda House on its eastern side toward the village. El Progreso workers could choose to eat here for a fee; however, existing description of the meals include gruels of plantains and fish waste not fit for the hacienda pigs.

2. Manuel J. Cobos' Hacienda House, Hacienda El Progreso in 2012

Description:
The house site in 2012 consisted of a large stone base foundation supporting ornamented plastered concrete walls on its southern and eastern exposures, the latter having suffered partial collapse early in 2015. The massive, up to17 m long, rough stone foundation leveled the eastern slope of the knoll and may have supported the original house.

4. Hacienda House, View from La Cárcel, in 2014

Description:
La Cárcel's main entrance faces the street, passing through a 6 cm. thick concrete and sand wall buttressed by regularly-spaced upright wooden (matazarnos) beams supporting the upper floor joists. The interior wall surfaces show that the exterior concrete face was backed by horizontal lathes of bamboo and reinforced with barbed wire. The upper story was accessed by a staircase resting atop a squared base across from a secondary door opening on the structure’s east side. A number of vertical openings served as windows for the second story, whose floor, having been described as constructed of cement and lime, may have survived until recently.

6. La Cárcel, View from the Hacienda House, in 2014

Description:
This historic structure is locally refrred to as La Cárcel or jail. Whether or not the structure served as a jail, or perhaps more likely as the store/warehouse of Lorenzo Tous’ later ventures, the property is littered with old refuse. Between 2012 and 2014, the upper façade had collapsed entirely. The area may have been the location of a communal kitchen, which historic photos place directly below the hacienda house.

8. Exterior Stairway to Manuel J. Cobos' Hacienda House, Hacienda El Progreso in 2014

Description:
Constructed of local volcanic rocks cemented with earth and lime, the house base is almost 2 m high in places and surmounted by a larger built-in staircase on the eastern side of the structure, with two smaller staircases to the north and south. The lack of an upper façade entrance to match the main stair case, suggests that the stone foundations were built for an earlier structure.

12. Manuel J. Cobos' Hacienda House, Hacienda El Progreso in 2014

Description:
The house site supported ornamented plastered concrete walls on its southern and eastern exposures, the latter having suffered partial collapse early in 2015. The surviving superstructure is clearly from a later construction. Exposed inner walls on its southern flank reveal concrete reinforced with what appear to be the rails from the small gauge Decauville system used to haul cane from the fields to the mill. Visitors in 1938 described a new house owned by Lorenzo Tous that was constructed on the original site. A 1947 photograph clearly shows a frame house incorporating the plastered walls under construction directly on top of the larger stone foundation that survives today.
