CZ Images contributor Bill Fall sent me these
recent photos of what New Cristobal housing looks like today. New
Cristobal was a portion of land that was cut out of the city of Colon
and U.S. housing was built in this area. There were quite a few
houses built in New Cristobal. The housing was practically the
same type of houses you would find in Gatun, Gamboa, Diablo and some in
Balboa. New Cristobal was absorbed into the city of Colon after
the U.S. turned the area over to Panama. These old houses have
stood through the years and many of them are still standing and in use
by residents of Colon. I once lived in the type house above and in
one of the up and downs below when living in Gamboa.
Thank you Bill for sending in these
photos.
