The Mansion was initially built in the decade of 1660 by an English  Merchant and Vice Consul of England in Zakynthos named Robert John Geoffrey. Later the house was given as a dowry, to his son in low, Robert Sargint whose family remained in 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 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 damages but later it was partly rebuilt and it still reminds the style of houses of the good old days.
