March's Viewings

Pollard's Mill, St. Philip
 - March 2nd, 2011

Pollards Mill combines the best of old and new. Built circa 1722, the spacious old stone property has had many lives: as a plantation, a hotel, and a fine restaurant. A series of renovations exposed its coral-stone walls, and imparted a Scandinavian ambience of light and space. The effect is stunning. The house, cottage, and mill wall are surrounded by 2.5 acres of gardens.

Featured talk took place by Dr. Karl Watson. A discussion on a nearby landmark in The Life and Death of Sam Lord's Castle.

Manager's House, Jordan's Plantation, St. George
March 9th, 2011

Sometimes obscurity produces wonderful surprises. This may be the case at Jordan's Manager's House. Now under renovation, this is a fascinating glimpse of a work in progress.

"Foster Lodge", St George - 
March 16th, 2011

This beautifully proportioned plantation house was built in the early 19th century and has a rich history. Purchased in 1976 by Brian and Sandra Parsons, now Baron and Lady of Ormiston, it has been sensitively updated and lovingly maintained over the years. A collection of crystal, silver, furniture, and Mrs. Parsons' personal paintings add to the ambience of historical continuity.

March 23rd, 2011

Chummery is one of the charming villas in the Sandy Lane estate. It was built in the 1970's as a vacation home of the chairmen of Macy's and RCA. The bedrooms over look a splendid pool while the drawing and dining rooms open onto an elegant verandah and inner court yard.

Wildey House, St. Michael (BNT Headquarters)

Our headquarters, Wildey House is a classic Georgian style mansion, thought to have been built around 1760. It was last owned by the Leacock family, who bequeathed it to the Trust. The house has been carefully restored and its ground floor is furnished with the Leacocks' antiques. Offices occupy the former bedrooms upstairs.
