Brimmer Hall Great House

Located in the parish of St. Mary, Brimmer Hall Great House is an important historical site that dates back to the 18th century, built during the era of slavery by the plantocracy. The house, a single-story structure, is designed to reflect the grandeur and practicality of plantation-era architecture. With high ceilings, polished wooden floors, and large glass louvre windows, it is an elegant example of colonial design. The wide verandah offers a cooling breeze, adding to the comfort of this beautifully preserved building.
