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)

3. 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. A Family of Village Residents in Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: Estimates of of the hacienda's population vary through time, but the relative dearth of women on the island was always noted. Accusations of promiscuity and multiple unions were said to be common, and some observers mentioned that the lack of women was a root cause for conflict between male workers. An 1889 census counted 213 men, 54 women, and 20 children on the island.

6. 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.

8. 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.

10. 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.
