Historic Spanish-Style Mansion from 1930

Location: Yamashitacho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Japan Timestamp: 15:11 April 4, 2023

Berrick Hall, a registered historical building in Yokohama, was designed by American architect J.H. Morgan in 1930 as the residence of British trader B.R. Berwick. It is built in a distinctive Spanish style and features small quatrefoil windows and a tiled roof with a chimney. It was the largest residence in the pre-war district of Yamate, known for being a foreign residential area.

After being used as a residence until the start of World War II, it was donated to the Catholic Society of Mary in 1956 and was used as a dormitory for St. Joseph International School until 2000. Today, it is open to the public and is a popular wedding venue. The interior features black-and-white checkered tiles, frescoes on the walls, and lovely ironwork on the entryway and stairs.

Berrick Hall has many highlights, including a unique sunroom furnished with a lion-masked wall fountain and a women's bedroom sunroom with glimpses of the Yokohama Port. In 2001, the city of Yokohama purchased the site, and after restoration and repair work, the building and garden have been open to the public since 2002.
