The first British Governor of Ceylon, Frederick North, constructed his official summer residence at the beach front, now known as ''The Doric'' and converted the fort into accommodation for the officers, who operated the pearl fisheries in the area. The fort building was subsequently converted to a guest house but was abandoned when the civil war spread to the area.
