Government House, The Bahamas, Colonial government residence on Mount Fitzwilliam, Nassau, Bahamas
Government House stands as a pink and white mansion with grand columns and a circular driveway, reflecting British and American Colonial architectural influences.
Constructed between 1803 and 1806, the building replaced an earlier structure from 1737 and became the official residence of the Governor General after independence in 1973.
The estate features a prominent statue of Christopher Columbus from 1830, marking the explorer's first landing in the New World at San Salvador.
Located at the intersection of Blue Hill Road and Duke Street, the residence maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes tourists for guided tours.
During renovations in the 1940s, the Duchess of Windsor supervised extensive modernization work that exceeded the budget by $15,000 while preserving historical elements.
