"■"«5ir"‘:7" ■ » ■ r- / / f y / Appendix? 8 / DElOriS BAY HISTORIC ‘DISTRICT Ja 2 3 1981 Ck DESCRIPTION: '4 Dennis Bay Plantation is located on the small peninsula that separates Trunk and Hawknest Bay. The lands of the plantation included the relatively flat and easljy arable land of the peninsula as -well as the steep hillsides to the south of it. The plantation was claimed and cleared by 1728 and appears to have been devoted very early to the cultivation of sugar cane. The plantation buildings included a windmill tower and a horsemill sited on the high bluff on the west side of the peninsula, both post-dating l800, while the rest and older buildings of the plantation are clustered on the shoreline of Dennis Bay between 200 and 250 yards east-northeast of the windmill tower. From east to west they are the Plantation House, the Factory Building, the Still and a Storage Building, the ori- gihfip. Eors€anill, an Oxpound and Stable, a village with 5 standing masonry cabins, as well as a small masonry bridge, walls, gateposts, drinking troughs and 2 wells and the remains of a masonry aqueduct for conducting the canejuice from the windmill site to lower elevations of the factory. This latter feature and the masonry cabins of the village, are unique for St. John plantations. The plantation house is the best preserved example of the traditional type with­ in the V.I. National Park. The buildings of Dennis Bay have exceptionally well executed masonry work and although quite simple in general design are of interest for their rarity and architectural quality. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Dennis Bay is significant because of its many well preserved buildings from the l8th and early 19th centuries of a well developed sugar producing plantation and for their architectural interest.
