Ninety seconds on State House
Getting inside means coming on a summer Wednesday; on other days you see it from the street. The walls are limestone more than half a metre thick, bonded with a mortar of lime and turtle oil.
Closed or open, the low limestone building is worth a stop across the street. It was laid out on Italian lines with a flat roof, which let rain seep through the porous stone, and a sloping roof soon replaced it.
Closer in, plaques mark the Bermuda Parliament's long run here and the Masonic lodge that has met inside since 1815. On a Wednesday opening the lodge lets visitors in. Otherwise, walk on to Somers Garden, further along the same street.
