It is essentially structurally unchanged since it was built and it became a museum in 1956. The house is listed as part of Bermuda's African Diaspora Heritage Trail, part of UNESCO's Slave Route Project.In the 17th century, before the house was built, the property belonged to William Sayle, who left Bermuda to become the first governor of South Carolina in 1670. The house was built by John Dickinson who was a shipowner and was the speaker of the House of Assembly of Bermuda from 1707 to 1710. Among its later owners was the painter and judge John Green.
