This striking whitewashed building in the heart of Hamilton looks like an oversized cottage; it was designed by renowned Bermudian architect Wil Onions, who allegedly modeled it on Stockholm's city hall. Spot the bronze weather vane on top of its 90ft tower: it's in the shape of the shipwrecked Sea Venture. The theater inside is used for staging theatrical performances, dance recitals and Christmas pantomimes.
