Government House, Belize, Colonial government building in Belize City, Belize.
The Government House stands as a prominent colonial structure with Caribbean and English architectural elements, featuring spacious verandas and detailed woodwork throughout the building.
Built in 1814, this mansion served as the official residence of British Honduras governors until 1961, when government operations relocated to Belmopan after Hurricane Hattie.
The structure now functions as the House of Culture Museum, displaying colonial artifacts including period furniture, musical instruments, glassware, and traditional silverware collections.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours, while its grounds remain available for private events in both indoor parlors and outdoor spaces.
On September 21, 1981, this building witnessed the historic moment when the Belize flag replaced the Union Jack, marking the nation's independence from British rule.
