Lord Dunmore built Fort Fincastle, which is located on Bennett’s Hill, in the 1790s. The governor’s second title, viscount Fincastle, inspired the fort’s name. Fort Fincastle is made of solid limestone and is distinguished by the shape of a paddle-wheel steamboat. The fort overlooks Nassau’s downtown sector and Paradise Island, and originally served as a lighthouse for Nassau until September 1817, when it was replaced by the lighthouse on Paradise Island. In addition to being one of Nassau’s tallest points, the Water Tower stands 126 feet tall and approximately 216 feet above sea level. The tower was built to serve as a water reservoir, but it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city as well.

I remember as a child climbing to the top of this water tower with my family on an inside, spiral staircase. When I took my children, there was a small elevator installed. The stairs were still available though. : ) It was such a thrill to finally reach the top and step outside onto a circular balcony to walk around and get spectacular views of Nassau, New Providence. Great for taking photos. Sadly, it is now closed to the public and is badly in need of repair. So, I am unable to take my grand children to enjoy what was once a fantastic, memorable experience. We need to upkeep these historical sites for posterity for native Bahamians and our visitors alike. Hope something is done soon.

Interesting place, and to hear it from the locals a sad testament to corruption. Built in the late 20's it evidently used to be quite the tourist site thanks to its unparalleled views of the island and sea. Unfortunately, again, according to a couple of local "guides," it has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that it is unsafe to allow access. Shame that a little investment hasn't been made to make it safe. Oh well. As of December 2017 when I was last there its entrance was chained up and closed, and appears to have been so for some time. The nearby historic site Fort Fincastle, however, is much more interesting.
