This paper takes an anthropological approach to the architectural history of Port Vila, a colonial town that was neither part of a colony, strictly speaking, nor much of a town. Port Vila was the capital of the New Hebrides, an Anglo-French Condominium that administered the archipelago of some eighty islands in the southwest Pacific as a region of joint influence , not a colony, until 1980.
