Old Rectory Bermuda
But this old house which is located in St. George's town, became well known for another reason. Alexander Richardson, a bishop lived in this house between 1763 and 1805. He was the rector of the St. Peter's Church and therefore the house was named as such. Richardson had a nickname ‘The Little Bishop’.
Old Rectory with its wonderful garden area is an example of an old traditional Bermudian architecture. It is built with white limestone. There is a welcoming armed staircase that leads you to the main door. The windows are placed high under the eaves. Inside, you will see cedar beams. There are multiple chimneys on both sides of the house.
