State House, Guyana, Presidential residence in Georgetown, Guyana
State House features symmetrical architecture with a double stairway, standing on brick pillars and incorporating traditional Georgian six-paned windows throughout the structure.
Originally constructed in 1823 on land owned by Anglican Bishop William Piercy Austin, the building became the British governor's residence in 1853.
The structure represents a transition from colonial governance to independent leadership, serving as the residence for Guyanese presidents since 1992.
Visitors can view the exterior architecture and grounds of State House during scheduled public days, with the building located near Promenade Gardens.
The State House underwent a notable color change in 2015 from white to green, causing discussions about preservation authority in Guyana.
