Tomlinson House is a historical site of Antigua and Barbuda and a former sugar estate located in Tomlinson. Under Vere Bird, the house was the official residence of the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda.[1] The sugar estate was established in 1708. George Walter and Bird were both interred here. This house is the second house on the estate: the old one was demolished by Sir Alexander Moody-Stuart in 1948. When slavery was abolished, the Tomlinson family was granted about two-thousand pounds for 145 enslaved people at the estate. Heads of the Antigua Syndicate Estates would reside here.[2][3]
