Built on by a British landholder in 1780, as the islands' largest home it was a frequent meeting place during colonial times and beyond - and in 1831 was even home to the first elected parliament, earning it the title of "the birthplace of democracy in the Cayman Islands." Restored by the government in the 1990s, today it's a national historic site (indeed one of the few historic sites around) with a visitors center, exhibits, a theater, restaurant/bar, and the inevitable gift shop.
