This is one of the first houses in Balboa Canal Zone where I lived with my family. It is a 4 family house on Tabernilla Street. Looking at this photo we lived on the bottom right side. All housing on the Panama Canal Zone was owned, built and maintained by the United States Government and used exclusively by the people and families who worked on the Panama Canal Zone. When the canal and Canal Zone were given to Panama, Panama sold off the houses to private individuals. Armando is so right; it is Tabernilla. I never knew of any bar any where around it so I do not know where the name came from. I am thinking maybe someone who frequented the bars in Panama City gave the street it's name. Ha! It goes up a mountain. Hope that you enjoy!

I live in Tabernilla actually. The name "Tabernilla" belongs to one of the reaches at the Panama Canal. I have to search more to ser the origin of the name.JENNIFER KESSELL 20 May 2009

What a lovely house and a beautiful photo, Sharon.Armando Salas 08 May 2009
Hi, Sharon. My post for today is the photo I already sent to you yesterday night. Looks like both of us are sailors on the ocean of memory:-) Very beautiful building. What is the meaning of "Tavernilla"? Bar? because in Spanish TABERNA is a wine shop, a kind of SALOON in Western movies:-) BTW that "thing" over the door... my home at El Val has a similar one. People say they don't like the "tejadillo" (=small roof) :-) They are right:-)Brenda Loveless 08 May 2009
