Garrison's Kitchen

Garrison's Kitchen. . These bricks are part of the foundation for the garrison kitchen that served military troops and government officials inside the British Fort of Pensacola from 1767 to about 1813. The kitchen had four rooms with separate doorways, two windows, and a fireplace. Most of the kitchen foundation is underneath Christ Church Parish School House. The garrison kitchen replaced a bake oven located outside the fort., The eastern wall of First Spanish Fort San Miguel underlies this British kitchen and was documented by archaeologists during sewer line construction under Church Street. The fort wall continues south under the Lear/Rocheblave House, past the McMillan House, ending before Main Street. UWF archaeologists also identified a part of Fort San Miguel's northeast bastion, named Baluarte de Rosario, just north of here., Background image: Plan of the Fort at Pensacola in West Florida 1764 Image courtesy of the UWF Archaeology Institute., UWF archaeologists documenting the east wall of Fort San Miguel.
