The Priory is built on the ridge that divides the Harbour from the Caribbean Sea, is considered by architects and scholars as the most outstanding building of character in Grenada, a Greek revival formaltered with Victorian details:  armonious asymmetrical composition; variety of forms, textures, materials and colours; towers,turrets; carved brackets; scrolls, panels, gables and pediments;spindles and latticework along porch eaves. 

ThePriory featured in St. George’s archival books and records, from“Conception Island” to “Architectural Design Guidelines for St.George’s”.

ThePriory also appears in “City on the Hill” by Willie Redhead who recalls that the property was indeed a Priory where the Dominican Fathers lived before the Vicariate was built within the Anglican Church. 

It is also named in the book “St. George’s. The Prettiest Town in the West Indies” (by George Brizan and Michael Jessamy). 

ThePriory is described as follows: “The Priory or the “Priest House” is believed to have been constructed in the 1700s by the Roman Catholics as a Presbytery, since it appeared in many of the maps and plans of the town during the 1760s.  

It was sold to a number of owners over the years, but a noted change is the addition of the front and the bay windows when the house was renovated in 1917.  The building ….. is “unique in Grenada”.  Both Anglican and Catholic priests inhabited the Priory before it became a private dwelling. 

Between 1996 and 2001 the property was fully renovated to an exceptional standard and has become the Jewel of St. George’s.  The Priory is now in the Government list of official historic buildings. 

From the West side of the house you can look at the Caribbean Sea, from the East side, bow windows, patio and garden allows you to enjoy the Carenage.  The property is in the heart of St. George’s historical district, yet away from the hustle and bustle of Grenada’s capital city.  Nevertheless, it is within walking distance of all St. George’s business places.  A private carport allows you to park your means of transport inside the property.  The most beautiful beaches of the island are just ten minutes away. 

 The whole property measures 7,500 square feet (about 750 square meters).  Each floor of the house, which is developed on two floors, is about 2,300 sq ft (about 230 square meters) .

It is used at present as a residence consisting of the master bedroom plus an additional bedroom, a study and two bathrooms along with a drawing room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast area on the upper level. 

The lower level offers another bedroom with bathroom and a studio-library.  A self-contained apartment with its own bathroom, kitchenette and independent entrance complete this fascinating property. 

During the years of renovation and refurbishing of the building the front area has been transformed into a lush garden.  Also the back space has undergone a radical transformation:  itis now a lovely and private spot with a large patio (a diner space for fifteen to twenty people), a three-stage garden with different plants and flowers on each platform, a pond with a water-pump.  Under the garden, there is a 3,000 water storage tank.
