GG Short Talks: Verdmont: an (un)typical Bermudian Georgian house

Harriet Wennberg explores the fascinating history of Verdmont, a fine eighteenth-century house in Bermuda. Built for the privateer John Dickinson, it is a rare example of the transitional type, retaining some features of an earlier seventeenth-century house while also anticipating the classicism of the eighteenth century. The house remains largely unchanged since it was built c.1710. Harriet Wennberg is Executive Director of INTBAU and a trustee of the Georgian Group. Georgian Group Short Talks are a series of ten- to twenty-minute talks on a variety of subjects relating to the Georgian period. The Georgian Group promotes and protects the architecture and culture of the Georgian period in England and Wales. To support our work, visit www.georgiangroup.org.uk
