Fort George overlooking the city of Saint George's, Grenada ; The Bryant Slides Collection ; The Bryant Slides Collection, Grenada Auteur(s) : Unknown ( Photographer ) Résumé : The slides were taken on collecting trips sponsored by the William L. Bryant Foundation, where books, music and art indigenous to the regions were gathered. The are organized by geographical location. In the distance overlooking the harbor is Fort George, Grenada’s oldest fort which was built by the French in 1705. Fort George continues (2013) to function as the headquarters for the Royal Grenada Police Force, which it has housed since 1854 when the Colonial Government took over control of the fort. Flying above the fort is the Grenada flag (1967-1974). In 1967 when Grenada became a British Associated State, it adopted a blue-yellow-green flag with a nutmeg in the center. The nutmeg represented Grenada’s position as the “Spice Isle” and is also featured on the Coat of Arms. This flag was used until 1974 when Grenada gained independence. Below the fort is a red roofed house with a balcony and red and white striped window awnings. To the left of the fort is a two story house which is partially on stilts. To the right of the fort is a view of Saint George’s, the capital of Grenada.
