History

The Georgian House is a historic house museum at 7 Great George Street in Bristol, England. It was built around 1790 for John Pinney, a wealthy sugar merchant and slave plantation owner, and is now furnished and displayed as a typical English town house of the Georgian period. The museum includes a drawing room, dining room, study, kitchen, laundry and housekeeper's room. There is also a small display on slavery and sugar plantations. The Georgian House has been run by Bristol City Council since it was presented to the city as a museum in 1937.
