The Mansion was initially built in the decade of 1660 by an English  Merchant and the Vice Consul of England in Zakynthos named Robert John Geoffrey. Later the house was given as a dowry, to his son in law, Robert Sargint whose family remained on the Island  until the World War II.

The house was bought by Alexander Romas during the 1880’s,  since then and until the second World War it became the seat of the family’s residence as well as the base of one of the two major Political Parties (Romianiko Koma) of the Island.

During the catastrophic earthquake in 1953 the building suffered extensive damage but later it was partly rebuilt and it still reflects the style of houses of the good old days.
