Built around the time of the French Revolution, this Fort is placed above where the old Culmer family homestead still exists.
My father grew up around this area and would collect pigeon chicks nestled in the crevasses of the nearby water tower to sell to fanciers. Even though they were separated by centuries, the fort resembles the Brutalist-style bunkers of the paranoid Soviet Albanian republic that were aimed at the Ionian Sea, between Italy and the Iron Curtain. Forts aren’t just a defense against invaders, they also serve as a defense against new ideas.

Sadly this ruin, probably dating back to the colonial era, was raised to create more parking space on Cumberland street. It was behind a large residence that may have served as a hotel, law firm or some other prominent use due to its location. In the foreground, there appears to be a well or cistern for water.
A ruin across the street from the ocean in San Souci. In it’s day, it must have been a glorious little house. I spent so much time coming back here at different times of day in order to get the right light, this was the only photo that made the grade.
This rare exposed quarry stone building dates back to the 1780’s and has served many purposes. Among them, a residence, bakery, and most recently, a law firm.
This downtown building sat abandoned for many years before it fell apart or was partially demolished. I was very lucky to catch this fleeting state of beauty.
Nothing in this photograph, except for the sky, exists anymore. It was raised to construct the new U.S. Embassy on Shirley street. It is dedicated to Alexandra, a girl from Ukraine.
I have attended services here in the past and loved the unleavened communion bread. Before the building of Margaritaville, the priest used to take the congregation down to the ocean on some occasions like baptisms and the end of Lent.
This is a wider shot of the Chipman Estate, an abandoned parcel of land on West Bay Street, across from the area where many fishing boats moor. These boats are usually owned by the same people that run the restaurants of Arawak Cay.
I can’t help but imagine that this used to be a dwelling of some sort, now being reclaimed by nature. Perhaps it served as storage for the hotels at the front of the property, or perhaps this is where the laundry was washed. Maybe it served as servants’ quarters.
