Saint Clair is a business and residential district between the Queen's Park Savannah and the Maraval River in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. It is home to most of the city's grandest and largest mansions and also home to the Magnificent Seven Houses.[1] Federation Park[2] and Ellerslie Park.[3] St Clair is one of Port of Spain's five police districts.[4]
