Georgetown City Hall, Gothic Revival city hall in Georgetown, Guyana

Georgetown City Hall features pointed arches, intricate wooden details, and a square pyramidal spire rising 29.3 meters above street level.

The foundation stone of Georgetown City Hall was laid on December 23, 1887, with a glass jar containing original documents and coins placed inside.

The Concert Hall within Georgetown City Hall hosts performances by the British Guiana Philharmonic Orchestra and various local musicians throughout the year.

The three-story building houses administrative offices, including those of the mayor, city council, and city engineer, serving as the central municipal facility.

The structure combines British Victorian architectural elements with local materials, incorporating cast iron columns and a hammer-beam roof made from Guyanese timber.
