44. 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.

57. The store in Progreso belonged to Alvarado and Cobos. Practically all workers on the island received their wages from the same gentlemen.

Description:: The Hacienda El Progreso included a warehouse, bakery, and store, which Nicolas Martínez (1915:39) tells us had all articles to be desired, including wines, liquors, and preserves. This image suggests that a building in the village was still functioning as a store in the 1920s.

58. One Sucre Monetary Note Issued by Hacienda El Progreso in 1905

Description:: Hacienda El Progreso issued its own currency. Workers could be paid in local bills and coins or wages could be kept in ledgers. This example, published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:100) is of a registered one sucre note signed by Manuel J. Cobos. The introduction of national coinage and tokens specific to particular businesses was one aspect of mid-19th century modernization.
