The State House in St. George's, Bermuda, is a historic building that dates back to 1620. It is one of the oldest stone structures on the island and served as Bermuda's first permanent seat of government. Constructed by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the building functioned as the meeting place for the House of Assembly and the Governor's Council until the capital moved to Hamilton in 1815. The State House is a fine example of early Bermudian architecture, characterized by its robust, simple design and its use of local limestone.
