Fire makes end to historic building in Sosúa

A raging fire destroyed Sunday night in the main street Pedro Clisante 'La Roca' restaurant. The restaurant had been closed for over a year now. Although the fire brigade arrived pretty soon, they failed to save the building but they were able to prevent adjacent buildings to catch fire. Sadly the historic building is to be considered lost. The building has a rich history. At the end of the 19th century the 'United Fruit Company' acquired large parts of land in the current Sosúa to Cabarete area, for the cultivation of bananas and sugar cane. The administration was established in 'La Casa Grande' in El Batey Sosúa, which now is known as bar / restaurant 'La Roca'.

In early 1900, the Company withdrew from Sosúa. An earthquake had in fact destroyed the port and a parasite infestation, which they then did not knew to fight destroyed the banana crop time after time. In 1940 the Jewish community was given access to the building and established a supermarket or 'colmado'. In the bay of Sosúa, opposite hotel Sosúa Bay three basalt blocks stick above water. They are the remains of the pier where the banana boats docked more than 100 years ago. Through this fire, Sosúa lost again a building with a rich history.
