Description

On the highest point of the captain’s land, and at an eminence not far from the summit of the mountain, he has erected what he calls a fort, and which he declares to be the only private affair of the kind in the State. On an esplanade surrounded by a circular parapet three 20-pound guns have been mounted in embrasures, and they command the entire country. The Samuel Hume Castle at 2900 Buena Vista Way is located on the former site of Captain Thomas’ Fort La Loma. (photo: Thomas W. Tenney, 1971) Original is in 288-189-2055
