| Summary | "Bermuda Houses" by John S. Humphreys is a historical account and architectural exploration written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the unique characteristics and styles of Bermudian architecture, particularly focusing on older homes that exemplify the simplicity and harmony with their surroundings. It examines how local materials, climatic conditions, and historical factors shaped the architecture of Bermuda's houses. In this comprehensive study, Humphreys provides insights into various types of homes across Bermuda, documenting their design elements, construction techniques, and the cultural influences that contribute to their charm and character. Each house tells a story of the past, reflecting the lives of their inhabitants and the history of the island itself. Alongside detailed descriptions, the book features numerous photographs that preserve the picturesque aspects of these older buildings, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their unique architectural heritage in the face of modern developments and changes in building practices.
