This iconic Estate home was built for Lady Margaret by Sir Roland Symonette in the early 1940s. He named it Hearts Ease.

Sir Roland ”Pop” Symonette was a famed Bahamian politician who was the first Premier of the Bahamas and the leader of a family informally known as the First Family of the Bahamas due to its extensive involvement in the business, political, social and athletic communities of the nation.

Symonette served as the Head of Government of the Bahama Islands from 1955 to 1964. In 1959 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1964, when the country achieved internal self-government, he became the first Premier of the Bahama Islands, holding the position until 1967.

After The Bahamas achieved full independence in 1973, Symonette was chosen for the $50 bill in recognition of his political service and his generosity towards Bahamian charities.

Six stone cottages were built surrounding the manor house where he entertained dignitaries foreign and domestic as Prime Minister.
