Reeve Court is a house built in the reign of Queen Anne in Bermuda's original capital St George's. It was built in 1705 for the Reverend Thomas Holland. However Holland left Bermuda the next year when he and his wife Elizabeth sailed for Virginia, and sold the house to Samuel Smith, who was a Colonel, Judge, Collector of Customs and member of the Governor’s Council.
Smith's son and grandchildren lived in the home for the next 50 or so years. It was purchased by Dr Richard Tucker by 1760. His daughter, Elizabeth, married the merchant Thomas Reeve, from whom the house takes its name.
Reeve Court is significantly larger than most buildings in St. George’s and was for centuries the tallest building in the town.
