Notes:Blockhouse Way

To do

• Source:Swetnam: "Sometimes blunders creep in, nobody seems to know how. For instance, Redoubt Alley, which runs at The Press' side door, and never came anywhere near the old Blockhouse, came to be renamed Blockhouse Way, somewhere between 1800 and 1900."
• Source:Weaver-block-house: Captain William Grant to Colonel Henry Bouquet, May 15, 1764: "we are Just now finishing an Oven at the Redoubt in the upper Town Sufficiently large for the troops against their arrival. [T]he repairs of the Post are quite done, and the Wooden Redoubt is well picqueted." [Waddell, Papers of Henry Bouquet, vol. 6, 541.] The "Redoubt in the upper Town" was Grant's Redoubt, a large defensive structure built about February 1764. It was still standing at the foot of Redoubt Alley in the early nineteenth century, but was eventually torn down sometime before the 1850s.
• Source:Craig@86: "The redoubt, which still remains near the point, the last relic of British labor at this place, was not erected until 1764. The other redoubt, which stood at the mouth of Redoubt Alley, was erected by Col. Wm. Grant; and our recollection is, that the year mentioned on the stone tablet was 1765, but we are not positive on that point."
