Tower at Fair Prospect in Portland

Tower at Fair Prospect in Portland

"This is a tower at Fair Prospect in Portland built by slaves during the days when our colonial masters kept them to work on plantations in all parts of the island. Reputed to be over 300 years old, this one was used by the slave master to check on the slaves working in the fields. The peephole can be seen at the center."
