During a break in the storms, taking a stroll along the High Battery is always a good thing to do. There is lots of history among the houses along East Battery. Did you know the yellow house at 19 East Battery is the youngest (built 1920), replacing the Holmes Mansion — oldest house that had been built there (c. 1820). The Holmes Mansion had to be demolished due to damage it sustained in a hurricane in 1911.
