Glen Duror in St. Georges was built in 1807 by John Stewart who was the Collector of Customs at the time.
Over the years the house has served as the headquarters of the St. George’s Yacht Club in the 1910s as well as a Guest House in the 1930s.  Later on, while owned by Frederick C. Outerbridge, Glen Duror was used as an officer’s club for the US Army Corps of Engineers during World War Two.

Glen Duror is an odd shape because it does not conform to the perpendicular angles common to the Georgian style. Its long, rectangular eastern portion is typical enough, but two wings project at 45 degrees from the northwest and southwest comers, all capped with a hip roof. It has a single internal chimney with Pilasters on the corners. The hip roof of the house is unusually wide and is supported by massive beams.

OBMI was tasked with renovating Glen Duror taking into account its unusual shapes. The house was transformed and rebuilt to become a dynamic, contemporary space with high-quality materials, and modern technologies and appliances.
