Splendid houses built on a bet:
Four wealthy Kingston merchants once took a bet to see who could build the most splendid town residence, only to secure affections from Teresia Constantia. Only one of the houses survived, Headquarters House on Duke Street built by Thomas Hibbert in the 1750’s and known originally as Hibbert House. The other houses were Constantine House on Higholborn Street and Bull and Harmony Hall on Hanover Street.
