Buckingham is a house in St George's, the old capital of Bermuda. It was built around 1750 by Samuel Mills, who bought the lot for just five pounds, The house remains largely unchanged from that time. It is today in the care of the Bermuda National Trust.
This is a rather plain two-storey Georgian house. Mills and his wife Sarah lived there with their sons Samuel and Thomas Burt. A kitchen wing was added to the north of the house during the 1860s. Samuel Crofts Rankin bought the house in 1901 and named it 'Buckingham': the name may have been intended to complement another property he owned called 'Windsor'.
