| Information | |
Stewart Hall is one of the largest and most elegant early 18th century homes in St George’s. It is in the care of the Bermuda National Trust.
When the house was built is unknown, but it was already standing in 1707 when the land was granted to Walter Mitchell, whose grandfather was one of the first colonists: he came out on the ship the Plough in 1612.
Walter Mitchell married a wealthy widow and prospered in business, dying in 1731 as one of Bermuda’s richest men. The outbuilding is thought to have housed his slaves. The home was purchased by George Tucker in 1751 who made many changes to the interior configuration.
Stewart Hall gets its name from previous owner barrister Duncan Stewart. Surprisingly he never actually lived there.
