Hibbert House, Georgian mansion in Kingston, Jamaica.
The two-story brick structure at 79 Duke Street features limestone quoins, Jamaican Vernacular fretwork, dormer windows, and a basement for storage.
Thomas Hibbert, an English merchant, constructed this residence in 1755 through a building competition with other traders to display their financial status.
The building later served as the seat of Jamaica's Legislature until 1960, marking substantial transitions in the country's governmental development.
The Jamaica National Heritage Trust maintains its headquarters in this national monument, preserving documents and artifacts in the building's basement.
The structure incorporates specific architectural elements for tropical climates, including red Flemish bonded bricks and ventilation features throughout the building.
