The Old Rectory is a 17th century house in Bermuda's original capital, St George's. It was built by Captain George Dew around 1699, making it one of the oldest surviving houses in Bermuda. It is in the care of the Bermuda National Trust.
This has never been an actual rectory, nor belonged to the Church, but takes name from a previous owner, The Reverend Alexander Richardson, Rector of St George’s (who was nicknamed ‘The Little Bishop’).
The house is most notable for its asymmetric protruding porch room with its welcoming arms steps.
The original building comprised the hall and chamber front section, and possibly the porch room.
