Excerpt from original source: "The city of Kaskerat is pleasantly situated a little to the west of Borgas. It contains two mosques, with their minarets ans a Greek church remarkable for it's tower and clock. The latter is an uncommon object notwithstanding its utility. The inhabitants are chiefly Turks and Greeks. The houses are awkwardly constructed, and in general of wood, as well those of the rich as poor...The roofs are covered with curved tiles, so disposed as to resemble those seen in many places of France. The houses inhabited by the Turks are frequently distinguished from those of the Greeks, Armenians and Jews, by the colour they are painted: the former are mostly red and white, and the latter of a dark brown."
