Government House, The Bahamas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Government House is the official residence of the Governor General of the Bahamas.
The official residence of the Governor General of the Bahamas since 1801, this imposing pink and white building on Duke Street is an excellent example of the mingling of Bahamian-British and American Colonial architecture. The graceful columns and broad, circular drive recall the styles of Virginia or the Carolinas, but the pink colour, distinctive cross-laid cornerstones, and louvered wooden shutters are typically Bahamian. Government House is also unduobtedbly the most secure building in The Bahamas. It is patrolled and manned by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force.
